[QUOTE="Chaser0721, post: 416841, member: 21161"] Flipped the boat over on some saw horses I made, and it turned out to be a real big job. Seeing as though I'm a first timer I thought I'd fly through this whole thing in a month or so, but now that I'm already a ways in I'm coming to grips with reality. I stripped the boat with Jasco, and more Jasco, and more Jasco, and some sand paper. Once I got all the paint off, my business offered to give me a bunch of Aluminum-oxide media they accidentally ordered and didn't need, so I decided to give the whole outside of the boat a light blast. I bucked and sealed any leaky rivets, and dropped out the center bench seat and sealed those rivet holes and any other holes needing to be sealed using #10-24 truss head screws with washers and lock nuts and some marine JB weld. Primed the outside of the boat with a Rustoleum self etching primer.
