nah, it had some on itm the ones for a v-hull though, i took them off. i dont think i will need them. runners will hold it better, and i have no need for both...

new direction with boat:

I am pondering spraypainting the outside and halfway down on the inside with rattlecan spray in bedliner from Lowes. I realize the characteristics of aluminum. However, the boat is not bare metal but does have original paint on it. If i prep the boat by sanding and priming with rustoleum primer and them applying the bedliner material, do ya'll think it will hold up?

have you stumbled upon this website yet- TinBoats
I don't know much about bedliner so i can't answer the question. are you going for increased durability or just color and protectiveness?

seems like the consensus is it does look cool on jon boats, but it may increase drag, causing you to go slower. If you using a trolling motor, you probably don't need to worry about it. it helps protect the bottom of a boat that sees a lot of contact with rocks and such in shallow rivers and lakes. imo, it seems a little too expensive to do it. but hey, go for it, would be a rare boat out on a lake.

UPDATE:

I was talking to my boss and he told me to use this, you can jsut roll it on and it goes on nice and smooth! May have a guy spray it on for me though for free. 40 dollars a gallon:

CLICKY



I'm gonna get it in Marsh Green and paint my boat and trailer with it! its 39.99 for it at Cabelas, but if you look on can, its says "Parker Coatings Inc", so I went to their site and its 32.99 there!

UPDATE:

My future Brother-in-law has found a guy to weld that ugly weld puddle on the front of the boat for FREE! Im going home when i get off work to get all the water and ice out of it, then dry it real good, then grind the JB Weld Away on top of that leaking welded spot. I'll have that are prepped to night so be ready for welding tomorrow! man i can wait!

Going to get started on sanding the boat this week if possible to ready it for paint.

__________________

ok, got the spot grinded on and paint removed around it for welding today! There is also a lip on the front of the boat that was tore up so we cut that off and we're going to put a piece of aluminm angle there. We also removed two anchor tie downs because im going with new ones!

My buddy doing some grinding:



Removing tiedowns:



The spot in floor gining me so much trouble





It gets an aluminum plate welded to it today to strengen it as well as seat that area off.

then maybe i can start on some sanding and priming!
