Stripping an aluminum boat
I traded some stuff for a 16' Starcraft in very nice condition. I flipped it over and the center keel has some fiberglass work done to it. The previous owner said it never leaked the 9 years he had it. I was going to paint the boat, but after seeing some of the glass lifting around the edges I think I am going to strip it. I was wondering what if anything is the best product to use to remove the existing paint? Is there something that will remove the fiberglass? Or do I start scrapping? Once I have removed the glass should I re-glass the keel? Does anyone have any experience redoing the seems on these?
Am I getting in over my head? The other option is to send it to someone and have it restored.
