Regular Paint? like.........house paint?
House paint aint shiny
If the paint cost me under $400. Than it's worth it for this boat.
Paint is the only thing this boat has against it.....it's a awsome boat and will be worth the money to paint it i'm not looking to sell it yet anyway.
I think i can get a few more years out of the old shell
like i said, they built 'em tuff back then. the glass in this boat is thicker then any similar NEW 15' boat i have seen.....Built to last, that's why theres so many of them still.
I was told by the guy we got it from "under the water line the glass is around 1" thick...." that's good for a small boat. that's why it's heavy
i knocked on the bottom and it's definetly thick, and strong. i felt 20' bayliners that werent as solid (But of course any boat is stronger/thicker then a bayliner,
)
So i'm going to keep this yacht of mine and fix it up to it's prime again......and it's about 70% there, just awaiting paint.
How much is the cheapest possible can of paint/primer to cover this boat?
Please give me a dollar amount, ballpark figure, Guess.. please!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I was offered a '92 15hp Merc. & a '96 10hp Johnson Both for very reasonable prices- Will these push this boat?
10hp is alot cheaper so i may go that route......But if i'm going to be swept away by the current with such a low HP i'll go with the 15??
I'm not looking to go offshore or race jetskis here, just want a little speed for safty as well as 'fun'.
so will 10hp push it OK?
How about 15hp, any big noticible differance ?
this is just for now, and then i will either put a 25hp or a 35hp- 35hp will push this nice, right??
thnks,
Mike
