[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 330936, member: 8516"] Beautiful build job, but far more extensive than I would ever want to accomplish. You did a great job. I'm aiming toward a clean, pretty classic, functional fishing boat for the average family guy. I guess it would be "boats as I remember them when I was young," if I were pressed to describe them. Going over the hull as meticulously as I did, I found a lot of small scratches and shallow gouges from the 58 years of life this [b]Model A[/b] has gone through. I'm not going to try and make it new again, nor am I aiming at a flashy appearance. I just want it to be "nice." Alumacraft manufactured this design for 36 years, I suspect there was a reason for the longevity of the model. :) Small thing, but got the bunks up to the right height, and it pleased the heck out of me to remedy the weight-bearing issue. Eventually, I'll sand and paint the trailer, but for now, I'm pleased that it is functional. I'm looking at cost-effective flooring options now. [/QUOTE]
