I thought I told ya to stop watching Alfred Hitchcoc with 3-D glasses? [angelic]
I was going to ask what collor to, but I wanted to be suprized....
I worked on mine today, didnt make it out of bed till noon so I didnt get to go fishing this morning.
I grabed my radio and tuned in the tiger season opening game and began the task of gutting the boat.
I started with the soaking decaying leaves and sticks of which I got two wheelbarols full,
I lifted the tung proping it on a higher grade in hopes of getting the boat to drain while I worked on pulling the seats.
then I started working on removing the seats. now in this particular modle the seats have cells underneith that are filled with blocks of styrofome. I worked on dropping those sections of the seats first.
you talk about getting grosed out, mise had made home in the seats foam filling, and pissed every where... After the gag attack and removing the other seats fome and finding the same thing and having another gag attack I through the fome in to the fire pit... that is where it will sit untill after a couple rains... I aint sticking those stinky things back in my boat !!! and I aint sticking them in to my trash cans untill most of the stench is gone... I dont want to have to clean out the trash can either [shocked]
I did then after lightning up from a dark shade of green to a lighter shade of pale green pulled the seat boards...
Did I mention that I marked the seat boards before removing them? well I did and I marked which way was the front of the boat...-
if these seat are not cut to match the new boards will not go in and will not suport the hull of the boat. that right, the seat boards are part of the suport of the boat.
the boards were tight coming out of thier slots and using a hammer to nock them out with out using any protection against damage, the wood was crushed to about one inch in from the edge.. held up better than I expected... but a good wave or hammering of the hull while out on the water would deffinantly have cause the boad to collaps eventualy. posibly even to the point of sinking...
once I had all the hard wear removed and the boards put away for use as my blue print in some near future... I focused my attention to the not so draining bottom of the boat.
well another draw back of letting your boat fill with grabage is that the gutters get plugged, and what I mean by that is, the rips of the boat on the floor have filled with junk causing it to not drain.
I tryed to flush out the ribs with the garden hose, but there just isnt enough presure. so before I can put the seats back on I need to take the boat to the hand car wash to use the high presure washing guns there in hopes of cleaning the rips that way.
but before I can get the boat to the car wash I still have to rewire the trailer, and before I can rewire the trailer I have to find yet another blown fuse in my truck, last night I found I had no back up lights. ARRRDGGG
so now I get to go lumber shopping...
[ol] [li]any one got any tips of what to use for seat board?[/li][/ol]
[ol] [li]can any one suggest a good finish for the seat boards?[/li] [ul] [li]I am leaning to tomsons water seal[/li][/ul][/ol]
