[QUOTE="scyharris, post: 149083, member: 3645"] Hey fellas, Been lurking for a while and finally picked up a 16' Tracker on a steel trailer for $450. I will post pics very soon but in the meantime I have a few questions. Can you sandblast these aluminum hulls to remove paint?? Not really keen on the wire brush for 80 hours gig nor the toxic paint stripper route. (although I would if that is the best way) I plan on using steelflex after I remove the orange bottom paint. Secondly, this will be mainly used in salt water so as far as decks are concerned (already ripped the old rotten wood out) can starboard be used?? I have access to as much as I need. I already know that it is slippery so I will probably apply seadek or hydrturf or something similar. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I will post pics by tomorrow :) [img]https://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo258/scyharris/basstracker.jpg[/img] [img]https://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo258/scyharris/3kc3mc3lb5T45U05P3a6t68a2af8e29101fac.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
