boat repair

[misty river]

took the boat to Proctor marine and they did a fantastic job replacing all the wood and all the hoses to and from the livewell.
It looks like a brand new boat again.

Very nice work. You can be sure it was done right way too.

it was a bit expensive but after seeing the workmanship it was well worth it , she should be good for another 20 years now..

I replaced the floor in my 17 footer myself last year, easy to do. I used birch plywood,(it's supposed to resist the water so I am told), and coated BOTH sides of it with spar varnish,(marine grade). Use aluminum rivets not steel when fastening the wood to the boat and don't use to long of a drill bit or you will be doing aluminum repairs also. I know that part from experience[:I][:I]. I covered it with marine vinyl I bought from Proctors, looks great and fairly easy to do. Total investment around 300 bucks
