Jon Boat Project

[slabbatical]

Tom, you might look into some of the "artificial wood" composites that are selling good these days for outdoor decks and porches, no rot! I had thought about it while reworking the Tidecraft, but between Dave and I we had enough wolmanized wood to do the job without buying anything. I've seen one jon boat done that way, then sprayed with the stuff we put in our truck beds, and it looked good. It can be had in most colors now.

I agree with LABill...the spray-in bed liner is a good thought for boat projects. There's a new show called "Bass Tech" on Saturday mornings. The first time I saw them the recovered a boat that was sunk in a farm pond...really a mess. They spent some time and money on it and it turned out sweet. One of the best things they did was spray in that liner. Not only did it look great but it helped those old rivets hold the water out...

Paul, Vonna,Honey and I went to a boat show a few weeks ago. Saw some Xpress boats sprayed with a thin liner, not like the Rino stuff. Any place to get this kind of stuff? I looked good, but did not look like truck bed liner stuff.

Here is a couple links to products I'm familar with I think the best for pickup beds is Rhinolinings, but it is expensive to have done and is sprayed on very thick (good for the bed of trucks). I've also had good luck with the do it yourself herculiner, it can be bought a auto parts stores very reasonable, but it don't go on as thick, but you just roll and brush it on. I've use herculiner to seal up steal water tanks with a 1/8th inch rust holes in and had good luck.
