One thing I have learned with this project is there are no dumb questions lol. The stripper I bought thinking it would make quick work of getting rid of that house paint. Which on the insides of the boat it worked really well and I will probably do just as you mentioned by letting the stripper...

Sorry it took so long to reply. I had to halt my project for awhile because of school. Good news is the semester is winding down so I will get started back really soon. This will be the first boat I have personally owned and the first aluminum boat I have ever stepped foot in. But my short term...

Another question: Has anyone had to rebuild the drain plug on thier boats? Im not sure exactly why but the previous owner has put in what look to be a piece of 1 inch pvc and looks to be sealed with silicon. Suggestions on how to clean this up and make it right? I'm expecting it to fall...

Took a break for a few days. At only 28 I been laid up with back pain. Bus rollover in highschool to make a long story short. I was able to get out and put in some work on the boat this evening though. I got tired of constantly recharging my drill so I went to lowes and pick up an 8 amp...

I been looking into this stuff. SUPER ALLOY 5 https://muggyweld.com/alloy-5 Theres some videos on youtube on how to use the stuff. I too have some holes to fill in from the PO. They decided to mount oar holders with 3 inch wood screws..... Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Thanks, looks like Im not gonna be able to cut any corners by not taking the whole thing down to bare. Which is ok, its gonna look better starting completely fresh anyway. Im finding some pretty deep gashes on the sides and bottom. Nothing all the way through the hull, but maybe 1/8th deep. I...

3M paint remover wheel has turned out to be the best thing since sliced bread. I just wish I had two batteries for my drill. Progress delayed until the drill charges. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Thanks, I found it. Looks like im going to add a few more things to my grocery list for tomorrow. Hoping to get it ready for paint by sunday. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I dont but I bet my buddy does. Definitely gonna give it a shot. Thanks! After almost 8 hours of pressure washing and one nasty sunburn later, I have finally made a little progress. Its not much but I was beginning to wonder if it was possible. Question: I read somewhere that if you went...

I scratched the wire wheel idea. Went and borrowed my dads pressure washer. Finally making some decent progress but its pretty slow. Found out theres a white layer of paint underneath whatever the crap that goo was, but its just on the bottom. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

So it seems there use to be some kind of coating on the bottom. Under the blue paint there a thick goey substance thats really a pain in the rear. Im considering using a wire wheel attached to my drill. Anyone think this would harm the aluminum? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I been snooping around the site for s few weeks now trying to get some ideas while looking for a boat. Yesterday I found a 12ft monark that came with a trailer, seats, and a 30lb thrust c2 minnkota for $250. Trailer is homemade and I want to make some adjustments to it. Boat seems to be in...
