Re: used aluminum boat question
<TerryMSU, Winterizing? In my world that means I get to tear my boat apart and re-do all the things I screwed up from the previous years re-do. LOL>
Did a little of that, too. When I bought the boat, I added a front mount trolling motor. Just bolted it on directly. (No mounting plate.) That took bending my arms in places where they don't bend. So this fall I added a mounting plate. Except to do so required pulling up the front deck, which required drilling out about 50 pop rivets. Only about half of them were visible at first. Then it was a piece of cake to pull the motor off and add the mounting plate correctly. Took about 12 hours total to do the job correctly. Unfortunately, that was about the last decent boating weather. (I have to do my boat work outdoors as the garage is dedicated to car parking and not really big enough anyway.)
