Hi folks,
I purchased an old 1982 16'9 Champion bass boat that I'm restoring. A father/son project. I'm no pro but capable enough with the right advice and help from anyone willing to share some. I'll have a bunch of questions I'm sure throughout the project. So far I have stripped it and redone the battery boxes in the bilge, the wood was shot. Other than that it's mostly going through the plumbing and electrical to make sure everything is up to date and safe and restoring it's beauty. It has a metal flake paint with zero clear left. Wasn't sure if I should just shoot clear gel or a coat of new flake. I need to at the very least fix a few spots where the flake is missing. Anyone know what color this is? Also it has 2 livewells but only 1 pump that feeds both with the feed also the drain. Any input would be appreciated. Look forward to posting progress. It will be slow, but steady.
