[QUOTE="simbelle, post: 291390, member: 10384"] Yes, decided to just do more prep on whole boat: tried to fix one brace myself and completely botched the job. Going to pick up new aluminum stock for the repair and take it to see what a local welder can do. Original bracing is 1/16 or less thick I could match or go heavier. Ordered box of 100 of stainless steel Truss head bolts, washers and nylon lock washers to put in rivet holes. Amazing how cheap they are from a supplier compared to Home Depot, Lowes or West Marine. Working a lot now at Christmas time so everything is taking longer; would like to get it painted by Feb 1 because I'm moving. Not sure were yet though! LOL [/QUOTE]
