1432 project

[Jmac80one]

Hey all, this is my first build. I've been all over this site getting ideas from the the great minds and I'm finally ready to post some pics. I'm about half way done as of today.

 

[Jmac80one]

Finally made it home. 3 Hour drive with a twisted axle and mismatched tires, plus no lights.

Covered in flex seal!

Pretty good size Crack

 

[Jmac80one]

More flex seal. But rivets were almost falling out

Strip

This transom is done, but it's 1" thick. More work already.

That was under the rubber seal. The entire boat was sprayed with it.

Prying up the old stuff

Rotten foam with dead bugs and animals

Filled in all the rivets with marine-tex, then Finished the bottom with a can of gluvit and and a paint roller.

 

[Jmac80one]

Three coats of self-etch spray primer.

Regular old semi-gloss oil base paint.
I thinned it and used it in the harbor freight hvlp purple gun. Worked perfectly.

Threw down some bedliner for durability

Maiden voyage Checking for leaks with the wifey. Ops check good!

Transom riveted in and mount for bilge pump installed with 5200

Transducer mounted, and sealed with 5200

Decided to rip the back seat completely out and use the space for rod lockers.
