[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 331600, member: 8516"] I find I'm running into some problems. :? [b]A.[/b] I'm very conscious of the costs in materials on this project, because when I'm done, it's still going to be a 58+ year-old boat and Spring boat purchasers are not going to have the sense of delight that I do in rescuing it. Just ordered some (roughly) period Alumacraft decals for it. Boat doesn't need them, but they'll look neat. :( :) Today I'll probably go down and get some exterior plywood for the decking (to me: [i]floor[/i]) which will be simple, stable, and removeable. If I don't consider labor, I'm up to around $100 plus purchase price on the project in materials. The real problem [b]B.[/b] I want to keep the boat. #-o :oops: [-o< :? [/QUOTE]
