[QUOTE="soccertoad20, post: 363413, member: 15025"] Ail, thanks for the information! That is a great start for me. I looked up the spar urethane at home depot. I saw water-based and oil-based. I'm guessing I should go with oil-based since you gave oil-based paint as an alternative as well? I just want to make sure I get the proper stuff. Is the 3M 5200 and Gluvit able to be painted over? I like the idea of using the 3M 5200 just around the rivets, seams, and holes. However, I also like the idea of using the Gluvit over the entire bottom as an added layer of protection. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid. Will probably do a leak test to see how leaky the boat really is. I definitely want to put wood back in so I have a nice flat floor to walk on. In my previous boat I didn't have a floor and was constantly having my feet at funky angles because of the ribs and angle of the hull. It was a deep v. For painting, I was just going to power wash it to get the flakey stuff off. Then take my orbital sander to whats left to rough it up a bit for the paint to stick to. Wipe it down with some alcohol to get everything off and then roll on 1-2 coats of primer and 1-2 coats of top coat. I looked closer at the paint job on it and it looks like the primer on it already is good. It's the top layer that is flaking off. I really don't want to go to bare metal because it would be even more work stripping everything and then I would need to etch it. [/QUOTE]
