[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 288032, member: 6694"] Hi John, As long as the paint that is still there is bonded good, it should be ok to leave it. Just sand is to get a good bond with the new coats. Yep, pressure treated wood is a no-no, as the preservative in it reacts with the aluminum in the boat hull. Just use exterior grade or marine grade plywood and seal it well. Spar urethane (Helmsman is one brand) or epoxy work well for this. Drill the holes for your fasteners a little oversize and coat the inside of the holes with the spar or epoxy too. Use stainless steel bolts, washers and lock-nuts and you should be good to go. [/QUOTE]
