Subject: Rebuilding Rotten Boat Interiors

It is not a tough project if you are good with a tape, and a saw. The trick is using treated wood, and quality stainless screws to fasten it. If the hull has the wood riveted to the floor, one will need the special rivet gun and big rivets to match the old design.

The side tanks in that boat should be aluminum, making the job easier to do. One caution, if you add all kinds of extra stuff on the interior, the boat may not carry the weight if swamped, and sink. Add foam chambers about equal to extra storage. Use the expandable foam for the chamber, and seal it off from water.[:bigsmile:]
