[QUOTE="PitFishin', post: 307239, member: 7497"] Well this just made my day! first off :WELCOME: I believe we may have the same boat, which i haven not been able to find another one that is just like mine. The title says mines a '76 but I really do not know. do you have any pics of the inside? if so id really like to see them even tho you said it was stripped already. also what do the livewells look like. mine didn't have any in it when i bought it, and that's what I'm trying to figure out now. you can check out my thread, but its not up to date. I gave 1000 for mine, it came with a 80's 70hp merc, and a 46# foot controlled motorguide. I started stripping it as soon as I got it home. I just used cup brushes on a grinder, I think i may have went thru 4 or 5 after doing the inside and the bottom. then i steelflexed it, still might use gluvit on the inside. I didn't have any keel damage, but I had 178 holes to weld shut in the hull where someone shot screws thru to carry the decks they put in. I tried the alumilloy with no success, it kept warping everything before it was hot enough to do anything so i gave up. we used a tig welder. piece of advice if your going to weld, use a piece of copper as a backer it works wonders filling holes.
