Message: <blockquote data-quote="riverduck" data-source="post: 320068" data-attributes="member: 11098">Have gotten lots done since last post.Front seat has been rebuilt and is solid as rock now. I can stand on it with no fear.Battery well built into front seat (wiring to go in next weekend).Plan is to rip out existing wiring and rewire through gunnels. I have a 6 switch panel and cig lighter to place in for now as well as a new Hummingbird 570 DI to wire in (thankfully my Brotherinlaw is an electrician and will help me wire it in.)Side locker are secure and I will attach lids with Piano style hinges I scavenged from a boat salvage yard. Lids to seats and lockers will go on post-Deck Restore. I tested the deck restore stuff on metal and spar finished wood and it is sime seriously sticky stuff that dries hard. The stuff has the consistency of sour cream in the can and will spead thick. I think I will still give a quick scuff to shiny paint and will prime bare spots but I think that is all that is needed to be done.When I built in lockers and front seat, I made aluminum brackets and rivited them to the sides . I used a generous oamount of 5200. As you can see form the pic, some ran on the outside of the boat. I plan to paint the outside soon and want to know, can I just pare it down with a wire brush, prime and then paint it?By next post, Carpentry should be done with lids cut, Deck restore should be down and outside primed. It is a fricking heat wave here right now so tough to work when it is 35 degrees C out!Chris</blockquote>
