1958 Sea King 14ft Aluminum Boat

[Boogman]

I recently aquired a 1958 Sea King 14ft and wanted to post it as I know of all the appreciation and present across this forum for tiny boats. I have replaced the transom and the wood on all three bench seats. I have two cast aluminum cleats to replace and then it’s time to figure out something about the paint. Last year before I knew anything about the boat I spray-painted it with the green that is on it now and I am thinking I would like to have the aluminum finish look instead. But that would require an awful lot of sanding unless anyone has any tips or suggestions otherwise. If it’s going to be too much of a pain then I will just paint it a different color again any and all advice, tips suggestions etc. are welcomed. Thanks guys.

Hi @Boogman. Your boat sounds great. I am not seeing your images, so can you check on them.? Maybe try using the Attach Files button on the lower left corner of the post box?

I tried editing my post by deleting the inserted images and adding my photos as attachments but it seems to not upload any different. I’m not sure what to do
