Picked up an old Jupiter from a junkyard. It's beat up pretty bad so I decided to go tiller with it. I fish the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair. Might start doing the Detroit River too.
Transom is rotted, windshield broken, deck is soft, and she's skinned from someone trying to move her with a hi-lo. The rub rail is bent up and the vinyl insert torn.
yes sir, 2 handlines. 3 guys one cap'n and 2 guys pulling wire. Fill the fish box naives. lol.
Actually I went to the "Ultimate Fishing Show" a couple of weeks ago and looked at the new Lunds. I'm going to pretty much copy the Fury 1600 tiller layout. Saw an 18 footer at the show for a mere $63,000. I'll have less than 2k in mine and it will be the bomb. This is my third tinnie and I have some skills now. Thanks to the mob.
:laser:This is from Zach. Why, cause who doesn't like a laser!
Rub Rail vinyl insert removed and aluminum rubrail is off. The damage behind the rubrail is minimal Some heathen tried to flip her over with a hi-lo. Rub rail is smoked though.[/URL]
Tagging along. We have a Jupiter that is in my line of projects to be restored. Its interior was totally gutted when I got it so It is basically a clean slate.
On the rub rail channel a little heat and gentle persuasion might do the trick.

I could probably get it to come back. There are large chunks of the aluminum missing. I would need to braze it and sand it back to shape. The vinyl is torn up pretty bad.
Option 1;
Fix aluminum rubrail and find a replacement vinyl insert.
Option 2.
???
Option 3.
???
I would like to have 3 options on this. (if possible)
Vinyl RR insert profile 0101G, you have to order by phone from Wefco but they're nice people to work with. A bit spendy but they have exactly what works in our old SCs.
