I was given a one man duck hunting layout boat that needs some serious work. I work with wood often, but my projects normally don't need to float! I've stripped all of the fiberglass off of her and I have dryrot in a few places. I know to tear out the bad wood and replace. What kind of wood should I use, the frame looks like oak and the "skin" or "strips" on the outside look like cedar or pine. It's all been nailed, why no screws? Do I need to counter sink the nails or screws and fill with a epoxy? What type of fiberglass? weight? What kind of fiberglass epoxy should I use? What kind of paint? It needs to be flat gray with black stripes to look like michigan water... The bottom is plywood, looks like Home Depot stuff, all rotted out, what should I repalce it with?
Any help would be great! Thanks!
