Tjames09 Posted July 28, 2016 Report 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 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!
Ralph Field Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 Nice job ! Now it will provide fishing opportunities for many years to come.
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 28, 2016 Report 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.
leaf4 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 Looks like a million bucks compared to what you started off with!
Tjames09 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Posted July 29, 2016 how are the rivets?? Rivetted? The boat floats before painting. Thanks for the replies guys. Ill add more, I have a name coming for it and the motor mounting.
wormdunker Posted July 29, 2016 Report 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
