PA in the Pug.
I've spent the last few weeks helping a friend of mine fix up a boat. He's an avid fisherman and wanted a boat his whole life, but just never was able to afford one. A family member of his gave him an old neglected 14ft alumnium boat that was sitting behind the stable at his farm for years, and we've done just about everything there is to do to it. So far we've rebuilt the carb on the outboard motor, and re-set a bunch of rivets that were leaking. Last week I went to town with marine sealant in all the seams and around all the rivets. Yesterday I sanded the whole thing down and gave it a good primer coat(it had a rattle-can camo job on it, as the previous owner used it for duck hunting). Today we will complete it with a nice coat of paint. So at 79 he will finally get to live the dream
