[QUOTE="ccm, post: 347682, member: 13447"] The metal floor in the boat will get hot + it wont be slip resistant. A cheap solution for this is to buy 1/4 inch rubber horse stall mat. It will provide a nonslip surface that is comfortable under foot. I don't recommend JB weld to fix leaks, overtime it will crack and leak again. I suggest 3M5200. Just re-buck the leaky rivets and add a dab of 5200 and you'll be set. Don't use treated wood in your build because it will cause galvanic corrosion when in contact with the aluminum. There are a variety of products that you can use to seal the wood in your boat; fiberglass resin, spar urethane, 2 part epoxy, linseed oil, etc... Me personally I like spar urethane, Just resealed my transom with it and I couldn't have been happier. Cool project cant wait to see the results. :D [/QUOTE]
