[QUOTE="simbelle, post: 292316, member: 10384"] Got a friend who lives in Vero; I know it well. Got the outside of the boat all down to bare metal. Man it took me a while to figer out what worked best on 30 years of paint I used a wire wheel ( best around the rivets, Orbital sander, (ok and nice finish for painting), Aircraft stripper, it was OK , this boat just add about 4 different layers of paint to it, Finally put a sanding pad on my 41/2 inch grinder with 50 grit paper and made short work of it; Just have to have a light touch and keep it moving. On my Broken Braces on the inside I bought 2, 1 foot sections of 2 1/4, 1/8 inch thick channel and slid it up under and around the 2" braces and bolted it through the hull with stainless steel truss head bolts / nylon lock washers and 5200. Stronger than than factory. [/QUOTE]
