Hi all,
Well, I'm taking the plunge and tackling replacing the floor in my trusty ole Starcraft. This floor has been falling apart the past few years, as it hasn't seen much use. But with the encouragement of my 12 year old son, we are fixing her up and looking to be ready for some fishing!
I've removed the side console, to provide a more open floor plan. I've got the floor out now and oh what a mess. Under the plywood was some steel or iron plates that were used to help support the pedestal seats. Of course, what that did was corrode the aluminum terribly and I need to clean up the corrosion, oxidation or whatever this junk is. What do I need to do to get rid of this? I've provided plenty of pics.
Thanks for your help!
