Here is my 1986 1648 Lowe Big Jon. This is my first serious boat project so I thought I would get some advice on paint and some other mods. It will mostly be used in saltwater. I had a sears gamefisher but sold it to buy this. The previous owner had some welding done to fix where it had some corrosion on the part that sits on the trailer runners. After a couple fishing trips I found out that It had electrolysis starting on bottom again so I sanded the whole bottom down to the bare metal with 60 grit and coated it with a whole gallon of rustoleum truck bedliner. After trying to get some off the boat side where it dripped I am convinced that it will last a while. Now I cant decide what color to paint the rest of the boat. I can get tractor and implement paint pretty easily from a local hardware store. Just cant find any O.D Green. All they have that would look good to me is ford grey and battleship grey.
