[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 469209, member: 24227"] I stripped the side console, motor, throttle cables, all wiring, seat, and floor off the hull. The previous owner had added aluminum angle to level the bottom so he could add a plywood floor. I drilled out those rivets and removed those too. [img]https://greaseextensionhoses.com/boat_photos/PolarKraft1751-3[/img] I used Bondo on some nicks and minor dents. I built a small pedestal out of PVC for a new front navigation light. [img]https://greaseextensionhoses.com/boat_photos/PolarKraft1751-4[/img] That PVC box is glued together with 5400 marine caulk and nailed with stainless steel nails. Attached to the deck with stainless screws. I went through a lot of stainless nuts, bolts, and screws on this job. Fortunately, there's a place near me that sells loose stainless fasteners in bins.
