Looks great. Don’t have access to a blaster so I am stuck with using other means. I bought some aircraft paint remover. Now i must wait until it is warm enough for me to paint. I an getting six to eight inchoes of snow right now. Ugh. C’mon spring.

Thanks Jim. I have some self-etching primer that I will use. Appreciate [the advice].

Thanks VZE. Just what i was looking for. Any particular stripper you would use?

Thanks Rich. Not a bad idea. Anyone do this themselves?

The [aluminum frames surrounding the] black console hatches have seen better days. I want to repaint them and have it last. Give me your thoughts on the correct way to do this.

As I tear into the boat for cleaning, I have run into a few items that I want to address and am wondering the best way to tackle them. Please provide any thoughts on how ...

Thank you everyone for the great feedback. Sure is a lot to learn... I picked up the boat last weekend and have been cleaning it up every night since. My kids are all about helping clean- which is admirable... Great to see such passion for something. Anyway, I appreciate all of your time!

Perfect. Thanks guys. Keep them coming.

Picking up my new-to-me first boat this weekend--a [1995] Montauk 17 [with Evinrude] 88SPL outboard engine. [I have] never trailered a boat before and [have spent] very little time on the water with one. I have always fished the beaches and back bays of south New Jersey in kayaks and by foot. [I am]...
