It's looking great. Love seeing the restore process. I wish I had time and space to do something like this. You could run a trotline from this boat. Look forward to seeing it on the water.
Thanks, Tommy! I think it's fair to say that we WILL run a trotline from this boat.. and I hope that it WILL be you who teaches me how to do it. I have a goal to get this thing up to 100% so we can chase those stripers in the fall.
Why not just use aluminum blazer head solid rivets? Match the existing, soft enough they seal with a whack or two of a hammer/ air chisel? I’m in the middle of a 10ft Jon boat project, just picked up hundreds of rivets for dirt cheap
So cool I love doing this kind of stuff Between fishing and stuff like that is why I’m always way behind on house and yard maintenance On your paint like … You will be the only one who knows, notices or cares about the very small defects you pointed out but I do get it …you know. You could of course get some pinstripe tape and tape that line
I'm very fortunate to have a teenage son who's willing to handle the yard work (and does so at a reasonable rate). I haven't had to cut my own grass for the past few years. I definitely need to do a better job of budgeting my time, though... It's a good problem to have. As far as the flaws are concerned: We're all our own worst critics. I'm not one to let perfection be the enemy of good, but it would be nice to achieve perfection *just once.* (It's never gonna happen.)
I looked it up. You're right! That stuff ain't cheap! (Neither is anything else these days. Just wait until you hear what I have to say about the cost of aluminum.)
@@CareAgainFishing Thank You! I have a 1972 aluminum boat myself. I like your video. Probably going to go this route. It's the friendliest on the wallet considering boat paint costs. Thanks again for the video!
@@workforit2270 Thanks! I did my best. One thing I would recommend that isn't in the video: Don't measure the materials by weight. Measure by liquid volume (as the Fasco social media folks pointed out in another comment). The product is fantastic. It does everything I hoped it would do.

@@CareAgainFishing I'd be glad to show you the ropes. My first crabbing boat was similar to yours. We definitely have to chase some rockfish soon.
I would like to request a breakdown of the project cost at the end. Now I want a little John boat THANKS..........
Will do
Nice work! What do you think the temp was in your garage when you applied the Super Slick?
@@stacychick5053 High 60s? Low 70s?
@@CareAgainFishing thanks! In the Seattle area so need to do this now! ;)

@@kennyg5619 I didn't realize they were an option.

I used emeron paint it’s expensive but great also not good to breath in
I'll have to look that up!

Fasco Epoxies Super Slick is 1:1 by volume, not weight. You should use a volume measuring cup.
Duly noted! Next time I'll make sure to do it that way, next time. The good news is: It still worked. Great product!
How many times you think you've been in the water since then? Hows it holding up?
I'm in the ballpark of 20 outings, at this point. I haven't taken it easy on the boat, at all. It's holding up GREAT.
