I'll share some pictures once i get it painted

Nice job so far. I'm doing almost the same project, a 1952 Lone Star 12'. I'm in the scrubbing the old paint off still phase. I plan on using Rustoleum Professional Aluminum Primer spray over the entire boat. The bottom is getting some Aquagard Alumi-Koat, the rest is going to be rustoleum...
