Default Exciting Jon Boat Upgrades

Couple other questions,

how do I go about cutting the aluminum to put storage compartments in
the seats?

what do I use to drill holes in the pipe lining the boat so I can put
in cleats? (is any special drill bit necessary?)

what can I use to paint the boat?

Hi OR,

You can use an electric drill with metal cutting bits because it is only
soft aluminum.

You can use metal blades in a saws-all.

Like my grandfather said (master carpenter from Switzerland), "Measure twice
and cut once."

If your Jon boat is that 'OD green' then you can get spray cans of it from a
Lowe boat dealer.

I like to go to a real good hardware store or marine supply and get
stainless steelhead self lock nuts and bolts/screws.
