[QUOTE="john.0, post: 394434, member: 19922"] I used diesel and rags to remove the tar and it worked quite well.I sprayed it and let it sit in the sun and the tar liquified it. My concern is not with the pitting but getting a base coat to properly adhere with what little tar that's left in the nooks and crannies.Scrapping it for $40 or $50 dollars would be such a waste.It is structurally sound and other than the pitting it's a useable boat. Globbing soft roofing tar or whatever tar it was on it was a horribly silly thing for someone to do. [/QUOTE]
