| I had redone my 1983 Alumacraft Lunker 16ss a few years back. I totally removed every piece and used them as patterns for the new wood. I used a good grade of marine carpet, stainless steel screws and aluminum rivets. The boat was better than new when it was done. I was able to replace the drain hose for the livewell that was a leak problem from the factory when it was new.(They had run a floor screw right thru the hose) It is an enjoyable project as long as you have the time and the space. That boat is still in use and looks great!! Final cost for all of the materials ran about 400.00. Money well spent. Time wise I would say about 10 hours. Good luck if you tackle it on your own. |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Agreed...and the satisfaction of doing it yourself is downright priceless. Pay someone else, and for 10 hours at $70 an hour...your looking at a 1000+ bill with materials and labor...based upon the last post..
Do exactly as he said and you should be all set.
