Tjames09 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 What I started with is an old Peterborough 12' aluminum boat, rotted out transom and no motor. Painted the inside light grey and green. Added new transom on both inside and outside. Exterior was painted green and dark grey on the bottom I have bought a motor and trolling motor for it, Ill add more pictures when the entire setup is in the water.

porkpie Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Nice looking tinny. I rebuilt ours at the cottage 2 years ago, but I got lazy and didn't paint it. It doesn't take much to make an old tin boat like new again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 how are the rivets?? Round and made of aluminium!!!! Great job, the boat looks like new now. Got a little 12 footer I need to do at some point as well as an old snowmobile. Just have to find the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormdunker Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Which paint did you use? Did you spray it with self etching primer? Your paint job looks very smooth & shiny. I'm asking because I am sanding my 14' Lund getting it ready for paint. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
