[QUOTE="Degn8er, post: 489633, member: 31775"] Thanks, yes the seller did give me the cap for the transom. It is in pretty bad shape so I am not sure if it is salvageable. The trailer functions but it needs new wiring and I will need to check the bearings. The tires wanted to hop when I was bringing the boat to my home after the sale. Question 1: Does anyone have any experience with gluvit epoxy sealer. Is it worth $60 to put this one the rivets before painting? Question 2: I am planning on putting on a self etching primer on the hull after I prep to bare aluminum. Do I need to then add another regular primer after that, before the regular aluminum paint? Question 3: Does anyone have any suggestion on the kind of paint. Total Boat seems to be one of the best but it is so expensive. Maybe Alua Hawk or Duralux would be a good paint? I will probably need to roll the paint but I do have an electric airless paint gun. [/QUOTE]
