[QUOTE="EYDavis, post: 296484, member: 10661"] Pics coming....on the home computer. Got the boat with trailer for under $300. This thing is in pretty decent shape, but I'd like to get it down to bare aluminum inside and out. I've been reading over the forums---great resources, guys. I pretty much started with the trailer...that's going ok...not rocket science, there...making it up as I go and using the forum to pick out replacement components. I might be dealing with a homemade trailer, here. But I moved over to the boat yesterday with some methylene chloride stripper...harbor freight aerosol then lowe's gel/aerosol. Not budging, bubbling, or blistering....only thing it does is soften it for the wire brush, which I'd prefer to limit. I ordered some stuff ($70 shipped) that sounded stronger that I found online (tcpglobal.com). We'll see how it goes. Still planning what to do with this thing...trying to figure out what I've got. I'm looking at the wetlander product...seems like it would make sense and I've always been impressed with my buddy's duckboat with frogspit. But then I worry about getting it to adhere if I need epoxy or jbweld or bondo or something else to seal off dents and leaks. Overall goal is to get it farm-pond with trolling motor worthy to fish for bass among the lily pads. Anyway...will post pics tonight. Awesome forum guys. [/QUOTE]
