1989 Grumman Renagade

[plugknocker]

I bought this in 2006. The owner had replaced the motor and the trolling motor a year earlier, putting on a 4 stroke 40hp honda and 32lb Minn-kota. Since then I have added a recirulator to the livewell, replaced the front deck and most of the wiring, repainted it with a case of spray cans.

Now for the 2014 season I hope to finish another update. The last one did co$t me to learn from my mistakes made. Seal the wood and apply the correct grade materials!

This new project I plan to completely rewire the system and replace both decks. In the area between the decks I plan to use Tuff-Coat.
This where I"m asking for advice. So far I read for Tuff-Coat it's suggested to use a hopper sprayer and follow preparations. Since I tore out the carpet and have the adhesive stuck to the sheet metal. What recommendations are there for removing the adhesive? Or is that part of the preparation to apply Tuff-Coat?
Posted here are my photos before I dismantled to the empty shell.

It seems like most guys here use some type of paint stripper and or an angle grinder with a wire wheel. On my project I have been using the grinder to remove glue/paint/rust and grime.

Good luck with your mod, keep the pictures coming!
