Tubs, how’d you get those core plugs out without buggering them up?
That should be a cute little motor when you’re done.A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

PS, really enjoy your great and informative tutorials
One of my Hot Rod buddies is experienced in using led.
He has the paddles and files but that’s an awful lot of trouble
for something that small. I’ve still have some kitty hair I
could start with but I think I’ll just scratch the tank up really
good and go with filler.
Appreciate your comment on my videos.
They are the result of a poor memory. Frustrated with not being
able to remember how I had done something in the past got me to
saving pictures of most everything I work on, along with some notes.
Reading questions about things I had some experience with, I’m
thinking my notes, and epically the pictures, could be helpful to
others. I know You Tube has really been a help to me in repairing
stuff besides outboards. It saves so much time not having figure out
how to get something apart without breaking it. I hope there are
people finding what I post as useful as what I have found on You Tube.

I presume the epoxy comes off nicely with a little
heat from your torch?Prepare to be boarded!

Torch would do it – I used a heat gun.

I’ve been putting this off for months.
One more shot of primer and I’m
going to paint it.

Another “eye catcher” in the works!Prepare to be boarded!
May 8, 2023 at 5:37 pm #276047Thanks once again Tubs, for a marvelous series of photos and explanations, of how to restore that Pal………..I’m sure it will be a big help to members and others!

There our people that enjoy working with this
stuff but I’m not one of them. I don’t know how
much help my pictures would be to a beginner.
They were more for those like Buck and Bob
who would understand what the mean without
a description. There are so many variables in
prepping metal for paint. Clean first with a solvent
or soap and water – filler before primer or after –
etching primer or epoxy – and on and on.
You’ll likely never meet 2 individuals that
follow the same procedure from start to ready
for paint. This is just a somewhat condensed
display of how I got there — this time.
