Have about 60 bolt holes to patch, and will rehab a transom from non treated plywood, coat with epoxy, and reinstall. I have decided to attach the decks directly to the cross bracing, to keep the center of gravity lower. Will used pedestal based swivel seats, and either fabricate or have fabricated a live well from aluminum, to take the place of the center seat. Then, it's on to re-bucking and replacing rivets, designing the front deck, coating the bottom with system three epoxy, and painting. I'd try to reweld the front seams, as they are busted, but the metal is too thin for me to tackle, with my limited welding skills. So, will patch with additional metal and rivets, with 5200 to seal.</p></blockquote><p></p>
