Do really need to do this Is there anything simaler I can get at the local hardware? The paint above the waterline is just faded do I need to sand and prime this or can I just paint over it?

Welcome to the site.
I rebuilt my '67 Alumcraft 14' about three years ago now. Thread in my signature.
My boat is not painted, nor did I use Steelflex.

Does anybody know now where I can get new decals???
 
Try this site. I have not used them yet so cant give you a good review of them but i will be using them soon. It looks like they have all boat logos and trailer logos there is.

He already got them, they were nice. We had to flatten them out for a couple days but they got flat again and were pretty easy to apply. ill see if I can find a pic, he didn't go with stock decals tho so I'm not sure about that.
 
Finally got a good start this weekend .Got the boat stiped down and flipped over .Took a wire wheel on a grider to the haul .Got alot do Saturday !! :D Pictures to come
