re: SS Pop - Ongoing Aluminum Boat Refurb thread

After almost one year I have done a little work. Im not in any rush to get this done, just picking at it in my spare time.

I got the trailer wire wheeled down and threw on a few coats of primer then paint. I replaced all of the bunks, roller and winch.

Next is to get the tongue extended, new coupler, jack, hubs and wheels.












I had to drill out 5 rivets on the back of the boat below the waterline, along with 6 underneath the boat. The kneebrace had to be removed along with another bracket to get the old transom wood out. I will get the holes welded up once I am done with everything else.

I got new wood (1 piece 3/4" and 1 piece 1/2" , liquid nailed together, drilled it and sealed it with spar urethane. I got it mounted today with new machine screws and marine silicone/adhesive.











Next up is building a front deck with aluminum angle. Once I am done with that I will take boat and trailer to the welder and get that work taken care of.
