[QUOTE="hunter00, post: 417651, member: 3501"] Well, it's been quite a while since I have posted. This is my first boat project and I think it will be my last. I have spent soooo many hours working on this boat and soooo much money, I'm not sure it's going to be worth the trouble. I guess time will tell. I stripped the paint with aircraft stripper, and that worked well. I did numerous hours of work with a brass cup on the drill and a 3M paint removal disc on the angle grinder. Took all the old paint off the outside and half-way down the inside. I took some pictures of the inside but, I did not take any of the outside. I put steelflex with beige color on the bottom half and Rustoleum marine top side paint on the top half, Navy blue, outside and inside. Doing the steelflex was an experience, I had done a lot of reading on this site so I was prepared for the difficulties. My main concern was not the look of the steelflex, but the protection and sealing qualities it offers. Here are pictures of some of the progress. I have a lot more pictures I will post later this evening. [/QUOTE]
