The old paint on my aluminum boat is startin to peel away. What would be the best way to remove the old paint and prepare the boat for paint? Also, what would be the best type of paint to use for aluminum?
I noticed the other day that I have a small hole in the side of my aluminum boat. Its just from a popped rivet and its close to the water line. What would I use to fill it? Would JB weld work?
I just got a 14 ft aluminum boat with a 28 hp mariner. The boat had been sitting outside for a while and I ended up having to rip up the carpet, floor, and the foam underneath the floor. I'm new to this and this is the first boat I've owned. What kind of foam and plywood should I use?
