[QUOTE="PSJ, post: 231319, member: 7219"] I became aware of TinBoats.net on youtube and have gotten hooked. I follow duckhuntingchat.com as well. On both forums I've learned so much. So, I've been motivated to bring an old boat back to life. I've hunted out of my Gheeno for the last 15 years and have never really been happy with the tight quarters. My job offers a lot of "riding and smiling" time in my community and about a month ago I came across this 1980 1442 Alumacraft upside down on it's trailer. The owner was located and I bought the boat and trailer. It had been sitting for the last 10 years unused. While reading and seeing many of your projects, I learned what "Frog Spit" is as well as how to prime and paint an aluminum boat. I also learned how to rebuild a boat trailer, which I've done on this as well. I've finished (or mostly finished) this boat for it's mission which is duck hunting first, then river fishing second. I'll post the photos mainly because I'm very proud of her and also for any feedback on how I can do better next time. (If there is a next time) Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy the 007. [/QUOTE]
