Liking this series! Great video!
I think the brackets on the floor of boat were support for center of seat
Jack plate. Just cut out the same shape with plywood, seal it and bolt the inside plywood through the back of the boat and the jack plate. In Louisiana we use stainless steel, but plywood works just as well.
Piece of aluminum. Cut the ends of the wood at an angle and two strips for the edges and glue with epoxy.
Pressure treated is supposed to be bad with aluminum, corrosion thing
You are the most aggravating guy on the internet…just love hammers!
Most bleach is only 6 percent so when I have a job like that I use it straight
mustie1, long time sub. I just bought a 1966 sears 16' aluminum boat. I'm trying to find how you recommend patching random holes in an aluminum boat. I'm not finding much on youtube. I have seen various compounds and soldering. What do you think?
I would use carriage bolts and silicone between each piece of wood and the aluminum
If the 5 horse Merc is the last generation Merc made in Sweden then it's rather valuable and coveted by canoeists because it has both remote gas tank and internal 1 liter tank. If you can fill the internal tank by turning the gas mode to internal and then pump the gas can bulb then its the valuable one. I had one and sold it to a great friend and he still uses it on his canoe. Most small motors for canoes do not have reverse so you have to spin the motor; these lightweight Mercs are great ans have complete transmissions; the only thing that goes bad on them is the thermostat.
I would of tooken all wood off to sand and seal it on the seats the backbroads I drill all holes and make sure all lines up then seal the all the way around then put it together
Found out he hard way that Non-epoxy will dissolve with high test cleaner for metal prep for a repaint of the boat metal.
Good job on The Minnow, Gilligan!
Anchors your throwing money away . The Boat looking good
Angry Birds😅 cool – and the Vintage outborder from the garagesales is very promissing to be a perfect addition for this little tincanboat👍🍻
Think about gussets near to motor mount
