[QUOTE="ober51, post: 84719, member: 1354"] Crappy day here, so I waited for the rain to come...and it really never did, so I missed out on some prepping time, ugh. But I did flip the boat over, inspect, wash, and degrease. I am going to start sanding the upper portions of the hull tomorrow, so I can start preparing for paint. I took some pictures of a couple holes near the transom that I plan on using the JB Weld Marine on (ordered yesterday, so it will be a few days). The transom is also being replaced, bought some oak and stainless steel bolts. The four 3" bolts and locknuts were only $3 bucks at Boatersworld, so that wasn't bad. But I think 3" is only going to get me through one piece of oak on each side, so I may have to go back and buy 4", we'll see. I was going to beef up the transom, but I have decided to just replace, making it more reliable and sturdy - since I don't have any plans on putting anything other than a 9.9 (lakes around here permit only 10 or less). A couple questions: 1. Can I use Spar Varnish to seal the oak? Is one piece of oak on each side enough? Not going to be putting bigger engine than 9.9. 2. Should I use marine sealant once the bolts are through? 3. How do I remove the rivets in the transom (which is how they are attached)? Drill through them? Pictures to follow. [/QUOTE]
