Awhile back I bought a 16 foot S 16 Lund boat. It had set outside all its life and painted with a brush several times. I will try to post pictures later. My wife has the camera and is gone for a week or so.
I was kind of amazed at what I found while removing the foam inside. It was either sprayed in or poured in and seemed to be in good shape. I stripped the paint on the inside and outside and then took the pressure washer to it. When I removed the foam the factory had put white bead board next to the hull and poured the foam over it. With the water I used the bead board acted like a sponge and then it went into the flotation foam. You could ring the water out of it just from setting over night. I took a chuck of it and set it in a bucket of water for a few hours and it soaked the water right up. So tomorrow it is all coming out and going in the trash. I would sure hate to have to trust it in case of something going wrong.
This boat has the back third discolored from setting in the water, what can I use to take this off? I used crome cleaner and it takes it off but leaves a wax like finsh and some of it is in an area that has to be painted over.
