Once that's done, take a wire brush in a drill and go over the boat inside and out to get rid of all that corrosion especially around those rivets on the seat.If the seats are dog eared at the rivet points, you could remove it and have someone weld a strip along the edge to reattach to the boat.Small holes can be filled with JB Weld then sanded.A rotozip would make short work of those rusted bolts around the bow and I would replace the plate with an aluminum one.It looks like a lot of work, so make a list and follow it, checking off things as you go.Welcome to Tin Boats and be sure to fill out your profile so we can see where you are. There may be a member near you thatcould give you some help too......Just Keep Hacking....Jerry  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
