Re: Just got a "New to Me" boat
Ok update on my project. Due to my work schedule I really haven't had time until the past week or two to get started.
My first task was fixing the trailer. I pulled the boat off and set it up on blocks with the help of my dad, a good rope, and a pine tree. Then he and I set out to replace some of the rusted out angle iron, install side steps & fenders. When that was done, I painted the trailer with a rust stop paint utilizing several coats. I'm currently in the process of installing the rollers, new winch, new bolsters, & bunks. I'll have new pictures up as soon as I'm done. Then its off to work on the boat.
A side project has been my seats. I finally decided just to re-use my Todd enterprise seats from my old boat. They've been good seats, comfortable, and most importantly....no added cost. But to make them look a little better I decided to try some of that Fusion paint designed for plastic. I was a little skeptical, but what could it hurt. So far it lives up to what it says about the paint bonding to the plastic. We'll have to see how they'll hold up to wear.
Here is a pic of the paint job.
