[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 470480, member: 15465"] A DA sander with 80 grit (to start) & finer grits to finish would be most economical way to remove the paint. You might have a hard time getting the crevices cleaned out, if tht bothers you, maybe use paint stripper there. You will not sand thru the aluminium, unless it is really bad in the first place. The sanding scratches will help hold the new paint on. Use the best paint you can afford, Cheap/soft paint will mar easily & degrade your efforts over time. For the deck, think about how you are going to use the boat. Make it functional & light weight & you can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
