[QUOTE="pcchase, post: 354823, member: 14386"] Previous owner called and she was willing to take the boat back , said her ex husband got it beached while they were separated and she wasn't aware of it. I told her I already had it stripped it down to a bunch of pieces so would not be easy to bring back. So she is sending me 500 to make things right, guess not all people are bad!! Back to the boat, I do not need to repair the minor pitting but would like to clean and treat it to stop it. The front and back deck are welded in and full of foam. It looks like I have 2 choices.. cut the welds to remove and reweld or cut and acces point and dig the foam out. I am leaning towards the second option as I don't weld aluminum all that great. As far as any corrosion once I get everything opened up my plan is as follows, 1) Pressure wash everything 2) remove as much corrosion as I can with scotchbrite 3) use Oshpo to neutralize any thing I missed 4) Alodine to protect 5) 2 part epoxy paint How's that sound [/QUOTE]
