[QUOTE="CRAPPIE_SLAYER, post: 114642, member: 667"] Would be under the assumption that if the primer is made specially for aluminum that it would work fine especially if you are just painting over the old paint. If you do decided to go for the self etching, walmart carries some made by rustoleum that is about $4.50/can. Took me a little under 4 cans to do my 14ft. As far as the motor, if its a long shaft I would imagine it will need raised up. May want to look up a thread in the boat modifications called "home made jack plate" that I believe has some pretty good info concerning this. On the trailer, the entire back end of the boat should be supported, or it may develop a hook on the bottom of the boat. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
