i hate to be a downer, but i don't think you're going to get the bedliner off with a pressure washer if he did any decent surface prep at all before he applied it. maybe better to think in terms of just painting it a lighter color, or at least be ready to go to that or other Plan B if the bedliner loves its tin as much as we do.

I can personally attest to the accuracy of these ^^^ statements. Softening it w/ Rusto Aircraft Stripper (3+gals only got me part way there) & scraping/peeling it up a little at a time was time consuming at best. Think of it as 1000's of pencil eraser sized globs of rubber WELL STUCK to the hull. You've got to get them off 1 by 1......

3500psi pressure washer w/ a rotary tip lifted it some but it SUCKED getting 98% it off a 14' 9" Jet. The last 2% stayed.

Hey Barato - Are the South of The Border pics a landlocked live a board? Kinda has a homey look. :)


And JB - Wasn't your bedliner ordeal confined to the inside of the hull? I just remember you expended a hellacious amount of time and energy. I don't know if topside removal on relatively flat areas would be any easier. Although looking back at the CL ad for that SS, it looks like the stuff is everywhere. :facepalm:

Yes, GA, it was on the inside of the hull, over all the ribs & up over the ends of the ribs too :mad:

It wasn't fun, I can tell ya that. And I wasn't overly concerned if a scrapped the hull a bit. On all that visible flat tin, I suspect you'd want to be much more careful. Besides, isn't everything but the hull a thinner skin too?

GA--yeah, that's exactly what it is....permanently bricked into position, with a covered entry staircase running up the side. i figured i should make Jas, bgc, and sevl others aware of the possibilities in case they push the Admiral too far and need alternate shelter.

I am just not familiar with the seadrive system, it just looks odd to me.

IDK JB I texted the seller for some pics he said he would send some in the morning.

a seadrive is an omc outboard with a built in "bracket" .. they are obsolete and you can't get parts specific to the seadrive any more.

Not a Starcraft but this is my dream tinny.

I just love the lines of these boats. The only problem is its only a single engine.

That Marinette is so totally awesome:thumb:

Though, one thing I'd do is get that helm out of the cabin, or, maybe go dual helms ya know.
