About 8 years ago we bought a cheap aluminum fishing boat. It has had a minor leak that has slowly gotten worse, and the already faded paint job is simply more faded. I’ve been aching for a project like this, so figured now was the time to do a major refurbishing! I’ve spent the last 3 weeks doing some research, and started moving ahead on the project today! By that I mean I played around with my wire brush to see how well it worked lol. This is the boat!
Now I’m not really into fishing. I fish a little bit, I think it’s fun, but I mostly just like to row around the shore of our pond with my dog, Griffin. I’m hoping to do some photography this year, so it will get me places I couldn’t get on foot because of the undergrowth. So anywayyyyyyyy I practiced a little bit with my wire brush drill attachment, but the drill started to slow down as the battery started to die. I am so excited to see how it looks when all of it is nice and shiny. The difference is CRAZY.
So the plan going forward is -
Remove rotten wooden seats
Wire brush the entire surface, inside and out
Power wash the boat
Let it dry
Use Flex Seal Liquid Rubber to reseal all the seams
I am still looking into the paint I want to use, so that is to come. I am not when I will get all this done, but hopefully before the end of March
I am looking at either coral or deep turquoise where the blue is now, and I’m painting the interior and edging white.
