I didn't say anything you wouldn't have said yourself. Looks like a lot of dirty maintenance to do, but that's to be expected in a boat of that age.

I'm ok with the mess, boats in great shape, price was right, I rather make it mine then pay more money for one done, I enjoy this as much as it can suck at times, the end result is always the payoff.

Hi Tim , just a thought wouldn't soda blasting have been a cleaner option ( and not hard on the aluminium) . I am consider redoing my 5 drives and having stripped a number of vintage cars valve covers and other various items the idea is not as much fun as it used to be . Just a idea especially for the rams and drives with all the small spaces .
None the less its going to look great when you are done .
Cheers RG.

Why not just scuff and shoot? Leave the previous paint/primer on for the paint to stick to?
I have a good write up on how to do drives if you are going all the way down to bare metal, if you want it.
