Building out duck boat
Wetwoodshunter:
I acquired a duck boat from a good friend on this site. This weekend I started in Ernest getting it ready for this season. At this point I’m taking it down to base patching holes, removed the waterlogged foam and am going to build it back up to the boat it was made to be.
The boat is a 17’6” (I think) PolarKraft with a tunnel near the prop.
Wetwoodshunter:
The transom came out yesterday. I kept it intact so I can use it as a pattern and will be inserting new marine grade ply after epoxy seal it.
Wetwoodshunter:
Foam is out, and the inside of the hull has been hit with a strip disc to remove flaking paint.
I’m not sure if I’ll patch with marine Tex gray or 5200 yet. A few areas of larger damage. I’m going to sandwich aluminum plates and 5200.
My plan is to strip and apply glove-it to the entire bottom.
Wetwoodshunter:
Few more, the transom had some dissimilar metal screws in it. It is going to require some plates/patching.

Wow
That’s a job. Good luck.
