Almost have the stripping completed. As I mentioned earlier, there is a reddish orange elastic coating right next to the metal. I'm guessing it was applied when the boat was built, but that's just a guess. It's possible that someone did a rework or rehab of the boat many years ago, and put that coating on prior to painting first green, then white, and the ultimate black bedliner. Below are a couple of pics of the coating close up, and one of the entire boat that's nearly clean now.
