[QUOTE="EYDavis, post: 297284, member: 10661"] So I've gotten hung up on the trailer. got frustrated stripping the boat and knew I had to get the trailer road-worthy anyway. For the trailer, Wire brush, some dismantling, and some electrolytic rust/paint removal (which was fun--I'll post pics) and it's actually looking like a trailer. I've just got to reassemble, replace a winch, tongue. I'll post some pics when I get proud of it. Oh---and naval jelly is great for rust on that steel trailer. It's got rust-oleum rust resolver on it now, and I plan to prime it gray. But lots of reassembly left to do. Anyway--I figure I need it for leak testing anyway. Still gotta put lights on it. Gonna go with a harbor-freight special, I think. Anybody know of any SUV-style cages for those things? Stripping this hull has been a real bear. I've been all around town for stripper...found several bottles of weak stuff at lowes, etc. Ended up ordering a gallon of legit stuff that seems to work much better--paint just blisters off. What's interesting to me is that there's, under the paint, a layer of rust-colored something-or-other, and several of the rivets have been green epoxied. The rust colored stuff seems to wire brush off fine, and even the naval jelly seems to help, but I'm trying to limit that and am moving to a sander. This thing will eventually have some sort of thick airboat type coverage on it... Anyway, I need a break from this outside of the hull. And I'm thinking I may be doing this in the wrong order anyway. I'm going to flip it this week and take those gunwale corner pieces off at the transom and see what I'm dealing with there. I've also got those corner dents to decide what to do with. And there's that dent in the right aluminum gunwale to deal with. I've looked around for dent links, in the forum but am coming up empty handed. Anybody got any tips re: the dented transom corner, gunwale? [/QUOTE]
