My grandfather had one of those in the mid 70s. As a little kid I thought it was the neatest thing in the entire world. I had never seen them again until your link. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the interesting discussion on my topic. This is what I was looking for when I first posted. Secondly, I would like everyone to know that if I do attempt this I WILL be doing a test area first. My only real concern is how flexible it will be. After...

Catmansteve, flex is my biggest concern as well. I think it will flex enough for just painting the seams and rivets though. Obviously I am not 100% sure on that but I am willing to find out. It's not as if I am actively trying to patch leaks with it, just using it as a bit of extra piece of mind.

This is more of what I was looking for. Not because it agrees with my line of thought, but because it appears informed. I have some self etching primer, so that should not be an issue, but I will be sure to check the can. Thanks!

I was hoping for more than one other opinion on the matter, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Shawnfish: Why do you think it will not work to stop any leaks? Have you used something like this before? Or are you just guessing? Thanks.

I was wondering if I could use some Valspar basement floor epoxy paint to go over the seams and rivets in the bottom of my boat. It is a 2 part epoxy paint that is supposed to be waterproof and strong. My parents painted their garage floor with it and have an unopened gallon left over. Would...

Where did you get it at and what did it cost? I am wanting to do something similar with my boat and I am on a bit of a budget. Thanks!

They are 28 at my local store but it's 22 with the coupon. Just got it today.

How long is this on sale for? I will have to go by this weekend and see, a jack is the last thing I need for trailer to be complete.

This past weekend I bought the 2x4's to frame my flooring with, but now I have a question. What is the best way to frame it out? Could someone give me a few links here that show the best way to frame? I have searched the topic, but I would rather see some specific examples with some good...

I would have to measure, but they seem low for actual sitting purposes for me. Nice to see someone local on here. I mostly fish Banner Marsh and Duck Island. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for this. This is something I hadn't considered. Very glad to see this before I got started with mine!

I would also like to know the answer to this question.

You do very nice work, I really enjoy the look of your boat.

I would like to say thanks to everyone for the advice. It seems that I will be picking up a rivet gun and some rivets this week. After pricing out the 1/8 th inch aluminum sheet, it looks like I will be using plywood. Aluminum is too pricey for my current budget, especially if I would like to...

Thanks for the heads up. I need a new winch for my trailer as well, and walmart wants 35 bucks for one.

I have to do the same thing to mine. I was going to go with exterior grade plywood, stainless hardware, spar urethane, and 3m 5200. From what I have seen that seems to be typical. I am sure someone else will chime in if I am too far off base though.

When I said leak, I really should have clarified that they are like weepers. I had the boat filled with water for a few hours and at most got a couple tablespoons of water all together from about a dozen places. Would re-seating the rivets do the trick? Along with the sealant of course. Wood vs...

Hi there! First of all, I have been lurking here for a few weeks and I think this forum is great. Secondly, I have some questions regarding my boat, so this post may be kind of long. Ok. I have a 14 foot Larson Semi V with a 48 inch floor. I got this boat 2 years ago from a buddy that had it...
