[QUOTE="DVeasey, post: 264765, member: 5720"] Thanks sixgun, she (Evinrude) runs well and has been well maintained. Other than the cosmetic wear and tear of time, she is a great motor. The paint that was used (both on the hull, and interior) is already peeling/lifting, so it shouldn't take a whole lot of work. The guy I bought it from said it was painted camo (multiple layers thick) when he bought it, and he hand stripped it to bare aluminum (he restores old boats/vehicles for a hobby). If it were me I probably would have paid for the sandblasting at that point! So I make sure that I've got it right: Don't used pressure treated lumber with aluminum. Use SS hardware (or aluminum for rivets). Use hardwood for transom repairs (not poplar, etc.). Am I on the right track so far? Dale [/QUOTE]
