I have been reading on this site for a while and just recently bought a jon boat suitable for a project. I would like to have an all aluminum floor and redo the paint in camo.

Today has been a rainy day which means no physical progress. I have however decided the location of storage hatches. As well as how to add more support to the front deck. I mostly am trying to figure out the fastest/cost efficient way of cleaning and removing the paint. Any suggestions? I have used a wire disk thus far however this is incredibly tedious! I would use a flap disk but i feel this may be too aggressive?

Well i got to thinking that the angle i used up front wasn't going to be stable enough for the abuse i was going to be putting it through so i'v taken that out and will rebuild it with 1X2 square tube. Today i got to work on stripping the paint i decided to go with chemicals rather than risk compromising my hull
