[QUOTE="samzerelli, post: 257483, member: 4169"] After about 30 man-hours, I have the outside of the boat all prepped for paint. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zbPyh.jpg[/img] I replaced about 14 rivets with [url=https://www.rivetsonline.com/rivets-en/blind-rivets-en/closed-end-blind-rivets.html]these[/url] 1/4" closed-end aluminum/stainless mandrel blind rivets from [url=https://www.rivetsonline.com/rivets-en/blind-rivets-en/closed-end-blind-rivets.html]Jay-Cee[/url] and got everything water tight. I used the instructions in this video: [youtube]L0MA1-5NXjs[/youtube] I then decided to apply J-B Weld to all of the 200+ rivets that are below the water line for a little extra insurance. [img]https://i.imgur.com/HwJ9t.jpg[/img] Next steps are to finish stripping the inside of the boat and then paint. After that I plan to reinstall the diamond plate floor in the rear of the boat and build a deck across the two benches in the front of the boat. [/QUOTE]
