[QUOTE="orttauq, post: 427211, member: 21970"] Hello All, I just bought this boat from James and am going to take over the project. As he stated he got it very cleaned up and ready for paint and re-assembly. I am hoping for some input from people who have painted aluminum. All the 'boat' paints I have looked at talk about prep of wood or fiberglass; do I need to be concerned with the type/brand of paint on the aluminum? [b]Or will any GOOD bot paint be ok?[/b] I am also hoping for help with the remote control cables for the throttle/gear shift-the unit itself is in real good shape (once I got the 4 layers of paint off of it). I also have the motor end parts that connect to the Evinrude Fasttwin 15. The cables on the other-hand are shot. [b]Any ideas where to get new ones? [/b] Last question in this post is about the Evinrude. I am in Seattle and was hoping to find someone to do a full restore. I have found one that looks to do really good work but they are in Ontario, Can so shipping round trip would be ~$500-600 I am also open to buying one already restored. Thanks, Eric [/QUOTE]
