[QUOTE="Bass_attack, post: 348221, member: 13915"] So I bought a 12ft jon boat (1232) Sears gamefish we unknown year with trailer off of craigslist so I would have something to get me out in the water by myself. I don't want to do much. Just get it afloat and painted and maybe some flat carpeted floors and storage if I could manage. It came with seats mounted on it and Has a bunch of leaking rivets and a few cracks on the bottom v's in the back near the transom. Also it has been covered in some bondo like rubbery paint like stuff to protect and no doubt fix leaky rivets. Nothing has gotten this off but a heat gun and scrapper. But I'm making progress. I have a few questions which is why I decided to post. And am open to any advice! First off is just how close to bare metal do I need to get because it's really a pane with this stuff all over it. I will include pictures. It was painted over and the paint looked ok so I think if I get it off as much as I can and sand it it might be ok. Also what kind of paint have y'all used and recommend? And is there anything like this I can cover the bottom with again. Like steelflex or bed liner material? I have been searching here and other sights for weeks while trying to plan and getting excited about my new ride. And also the cracks I was thinking a little aluminum patch with some 5200 and maybe job weld? What do y'all think. Once i figure out adding pictures I'll have them up! [/QUOTE]
