Boat Builder Central

Well, Arizona Sunset has a new owner and home. Just didn't have the heart to sell her, so it went as planned, I gave her to my grandson. He just moved to Nashville so I drove up and gave him my OD18. He was pretty happy. I'm not boatless though, I have a 24' pontoon for the wife and I, anyway if any...

Great pictures Capeman, I was born and raised in Utah and it is beautiful country. The winters just got to me finally and I moved out. I still try to make 1 or 2 trips to Utah each year as I really miss the beauty. But don't miss the evening mosquitos. Have a great trip and be safe. Keep the picture...

I've had good luck with this:
Moeller Zinc Chromate Primer
I'm only in fresh water but I repainted my pontoon aluminum and used this first and 5 years later it still looks good.
