[QUOTE="Jamie123, post: 400788, member: 20252"] Hello im new to the site and just want to say what a great source of info this place is.I have gotten so many ideas for my own project.I own a mid 80s 14ft deep v sylvan with a 15 merc. The boat motor and trailer is in decent shape but lacking some of the comfort features my previous 18 ft fish and ski had.I would like to add a flat floor some storage and a front casting deck, My first question is my paint is in ok shape on the hull ,it has a few scratches and some dock rash and fade no flaking but I would like the change out the color and freshen it up. Do i have to strip it down to bare aluminum before painting it?? I see so many guys on here take it right down , Can I not just give it a sanding with a palm sander and light grit to haze the paint then prime and paint ?? Thanks for any input Jamie [/QUOTE]
