[QUOTE="BassFishVA, post: 373236, member: 15628"] Ok guys I have finally had some time to get some pictures of my actual boat. These pictures show what I will be starting with. My first goal is to seal the boat up with steelflex on the bottom and halfway up the sides. During my leak test I did find a few small leaks underneath and one near the bottom of the transom. The question I have right now is should I strip all of the old paint off the boat to bare aluminum and then steelflex and should I just scuff up what I have and apply it ontop. The paint on the boat now looks to be in good shape with no real flaking. Also should I look at replacing the transom before I apply any steelflex or could that be done afterwards? If I do need to strip the old paint off what is the best method of doing so. Thanks.
