Also had a couple of questions centered around the floor and gunwale rebuild. 1. In the interest of trying to move the project along quickly and keep the overall cost down, I think I'm going to use exterior ply for the floor and just apply several coats of a quality oil-based primer and paint. 2. Has anyone considered using or used PVC board in their rebuild? I think it would be cost prohibitive to use on the entire floor, but might be good for smaller parts like the gunwale covers.3. Has anyone ever considered using or used aluminum or stainless nutserts/rivnuts to mount their floor? In theory these would allow repeated use of the same mounting holes.I'm sure there will be more to come as this is my first aluminum boat and I've got a bit of learning to do.Thanks.
