[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 435916, member: 22384"] I FINALLY got all the paint stripped off of the hull. I think there should be a special tinboats.net decal for those that have taken their boats down to bare aluminum, especially for those that have done it multiple times. I'm not sure you'll catch me doing that again. One product that I highly recommend is to use the paint stripper called "Citristrip". I chose this one because it's a gel so it would stick to the side of the hull better than a runny liquid. I applied the gel and left it sit for at least 45 minutes and most of the paint came off easily with a a wire brush on the cordless drill. One container got all of the paint of my hull. Update on the motor: I got it running, which is great! However, it will only run for about 30 seconds before it quickly dies. I think it to be a fuel issue so I have a pump diaphragm and carb kit in the mail. The good news is that I have a long time to go before the boat is ready for water, or else I would be going mad right now. Ready to start building on this thing rather than taking it apart! [/QUOTE]
