    EEEEPOXY HELP!

    I'm looking to buy some Epoxy and have a hook up at Sherman Williams Paints for about 30% off any order. Their Epoxy selection confuses me and I was hoping someone here could look through it that knew what to look for and see if they had epoxy that will work for my rebuild...

    78' Columbian Floor Replacement Brand New Boater

    Got a whole lot done this last weekend. Turns out you don't need very many measurements when your able to remove the stringers and transom in one solid piece.:bounce:Because of that I was able to trace them both without a problem. If anyone here doesn't know what to use to cut things out I used...

    78' Columbian Floor Replacement Brand New Boater

    Made some progress this weekend. I've been at a standstill after starting my teardown. I only had the boat supported at a few key points using jackstands with plywood over them so it did not dig into the hull.

    Thanks for the link to source. That's what I had found. Here's mine. Those casters are pricey for tiny little wheels. Didn't mount the engine, ran out of time before Seattle's game started. Was a great game for us.

    78' Columbian Floor Replacement Brand New Boater

    Was able to get a little work done this weekend, it's a little worse that I had previously thought. In all her beauty. To get a better picture of what I'm working with. This is underneath the steering wheel facing towards the bow. Tons of foam underneath the wood and all soaking wet...

    78' Columbian Floor Replacement Brand New Boater

    To start I would like to note that this boat has been passed onto me, after my grandfather had passed away earlier this year. This project has sentimental value and I want to make sure I do the best job possible. My previous experience with boats is actually with this boat years ago when he...
