[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 435656, member: 15636"] Thanks :D ! It was much more work than I had planned for, so I'm glad I didn't pay a lot for her ... This one is a '97. Besides the new transom, with the motor off, I tipped the hull up and checked every rivet for integrity, then cleaned the hull up really well, then coated everything on the running bottom w/ SteelFlex. Well, no - not in the salt, as the saltwater environment can be BRUTAL on tin boats! On my '79 12-footer, unprotected (no prime, no paint, no anti-fouling) rivets started giving away due to oxidation. I lightly tapped against the rivets on the bottom this Spring and about a dozen rivet heads flicked off w/ zero effort. Luckily I now have the tooling/tools to replace them all. Next Spring I'll fix them all, then SteelFlex thst hull. As my boats are in the water 24/7. [/QUOTE]
