[QUOTE="GrogHog, post: 270979, member: 7921"] I see you are using a grinding cut off wheel that isn't a good ides as it gouges the aluminum try only using a wire rope wheel they are about $15 but will do 2-3 bottoms. And they wont cut into the boat. You will have a nice smooth surface to paint with no cut marks. I do about 3-6 antique aluminum boats a year professionally but only for fun. You will do good to keep the seat but all utility boats are designed to hold shape with no seat support. that is done for consumer via USCG. Most hull designs are just that. Looks like ya have a tuff ole gal there ....Now whatcha gona name her? :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
