[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 109144, member: 863"] I got the rest of the paint off the outside of the boat today. I gave the paint stripper another shot, and it worked like a charm. The only thing I did different is apply it a good bit more liberally this time, and I didn't wait as long to get the paint off. I learned that it doesn't pay to be stingy with this stuff, just schlop it on there. After I was done, I flipped the boat over on some sawhorses, and filled it with water up to the top of the ribs. Not a single drop of water after 30 minutes. Bummer, I had my Sharpie all ready and everything :) I still have the one spot that had a bad JB Weld patch that I need to fix, but it's toward the front and close to not being under the waterline. I'll go over the transom bolts/rivets with some marine sealant and call it a day, I guess. I got some self-etching primer tonight but I've run out of time so it will have to be another day. Danged family fun day tomorrow, no more boat work this weekend!! :evil: :mrgreen: Here's a pic of the boat with the paint removed. You can kind of see where I used the wire wheel, and where I used the stripper. I also removed the vertical bow support piece from the trailer and moved it forward enough so the azz end of the boat isn't hanging off the trailer (I do plan on getting an outboard, and that would present a problem). I'll have to see if it's far enough forward that it will hit my tow vehicle now.[ATTACH type="full" alt="rusty_tongue.jpg"]8815._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
