Hey everyone, I’m obviously a newbie around these parts. I have a few questions for you all. I have a 1985 16’ Alumacraft Mod V 1670. Looks almost identical to the 1648 model. My title says the model is ACB? Or ABC? Something like that. I couldn’t find too much about it. I have a few questions below to get me pointed in the right direction.
I’m just in the beginning stages of planning out my mod. As long as I can fish, I’m in no rush to get it done. I thought I read somewhere that certain types of woods for framing, decking and flooring are not a good choice to use with aluminum boats but I can’t find that thread now. Does the wood need to be treated with something first? With what? And what about metal screws and nails? Which type would be best? Galv or not, stainless or not. When using screws, should I use some kind of adhesive? This is and will be a fresh water boat if that matters.
Any other do’s and don’ts that I and other newbies such as myself should be aware of?
Thanks all!
Mark
