[QUOTE="AF1Sgt, post: 372475, member: 15740"] Thank you Tim. You're right, I have the whole winter and am in no rush. Like I said in a previous post, this project is more for my resilience than anything. I enjoyed Christmas with wife and kids and went fishing today. Managed to find time to install 50 rivets with marine epoxy sealant. Will post pics within a day or two so anyone interested can see progress. I plan on leak checking within the next few days also, but have a few more visible holes to repair first. Check back in a month or so and you will see a floating leak free boat. After that day, I will customize it with carpet, compartments, seats, rod holders, etc. It will feel good fishing in it in spring knowing I only spent $70 for the boat ($50 for boat+$20 delivery), $3.99 sanding paper and today $5.49 marine epoxy and about $6.50 on aluminum rivets. My plan is to stay under $240 for boat "maintenance". No limit set for additions such as trolling motor, batteries, anchors, wood, carpets, etc... Anyway Tim, thank you and happy holidays brother. v/r [/QUOTE]
