[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 418831, member: 21309"] Well, I've been busy, but have managed to get a few things accomplished on the boat...unfortunately, none of it is really photo worthy. I got all the remaining holes in the top cap deck filled with rivets and am working on prepping the interior for paint (I have one of the 3M Roloc disks on order, hoping it makes quicker work of this than my wire wheel). I sprayed out a scrap with the Rust-Oleum spray on bed liner and like the finish pretty well; it's much smoother than traditional bed liners but does have a good gripping surface. I think I'm going to give it a try once I get the prep work done. I replaced the flotation foam in the nose and think I have a workable solution for mounting a cubic foot or so of it along the transom (I'd like more given the weight of the outboard, but I just can't figure out a good arrangement to get more foam at the transom). I guess if it ever sinks, it's going to float down by the stern. I'm also going to fill the front bench with foam, but am debating between pouring it full of expanding polyurethane foam or just using rigid foam. [/QUOTE]
