i have typed this on other forums, so some stuff might not make sense.
I don?t know what forum this should be in hopefully this is the right one, but if not please move it to the right place. Or better yet is there a possibility of adding a forum for Boat Projects or Boat Restoration (DIY)????
AN (ArizonaNative) and I plan on restoring our boats this coming winter. There is nothing wrong with them but cosmetics (i.e. scratches, scuffs, paint chips, and some stuff is out dated). The plans are to repaint boat, trailer, redo the floor plans, new carpet, new trailer bunks, and trailer light wiring. We know these are big projects to do. AN has all the tools you could possibly think of to do it, and is very handy when it comes to stuff like this. (Hate to tell you AN but I have a feeling I will be the assistant throughout this whole thing. I guess you could say my signature is wrong now, because this JACK has no trade skill on this!!!!) He has a 19? Bullet Bass Boat (Fiberglass) and I have 14.5? SC Crestliner (Aluminum). Hopefully when it all said and done the boats will look brand new. AN knows a lot more then I do so he will chime in with more.
Here?s some question I have. Has anyone on here before tackled anything like this that might be able to lend a few pointer our way?
We both know to make this look good it will have to have an outstanding prep job prior to painting. What kind of paint would be a good paint to use on an aluminum boat, and a place to purchase at, also for fiberglass boat too?
I think the carpet will most likely come from Bass Boat Carpet. We have heard a lot of good things about this company. Does anyone else know of a reputable place?
What kind of wiring should a person use for trailer lights and a good place to purchase it at?
We also need to find a place to buy marine grade wood? I?m looking for ? inch (not for sure what AN is wanting use).
As all ways everyone wants the best so it is the best but also looking for good deals price wise. We plan on purchasing stuff here and there so we don?t break the bank come this winter. There will be more to follow but this what I can think of now. Also once we start we will defiantly have picture and step by step until it?s done so it will help the next guy if someone?s plans on starting a project like this down the road?.
Thank you for everyone?s help.
Nate and AN!
