I just picked up a 1973 12' car top applebee (flat bottom) Any suggestions for a lightweight build?

The best thing to use to strip ALL that old paint off, believe it or not is Easy-Off oven cleaner..!! I've worked in a major sign shop and later worked in a marina repairing and refinishing boats. They were stuck on liquid paint strippers ( Marine ) type as well...UNTIL I introduced oven cleaner !! Now that's all they use, even to clean fiberglass hulled boats..!! Try it...!!

if you use oven cleaner cover it after spraying with thin plastic (painters mask) . the vapor created by the oven cleaner will dissolve/soften the paint far better . its designed to work inside of a closed oven so the vapor is trapped and helps the process. great vid cant wait to get started on my own project...

I have used Aircraft remover. It's expensive but it works. So does standard paint stripper. I used Total Boat Aluminum boat barrier on the bottom. It's a two part epoxy paint. It sealed every rivet and seam.

Great video / awesome project and kickass channel! Boat came out great with the oil base . Here’s a great hack for using oil base paint, Tractor Supply sells an Oil base Paint catalyst / hardener which will help a ton. MUCH QUICKER dry time, added gloss, and the best part…. Incredibly stronger and more durable. A small van is around $20 and enough for a whole gallon. It’s a game changer! 👊🏼 thanks for the great content and for inspiring creators like myself , cheers!

That's a ton of paint on that boat! I'm sure it will be a cool build when you're finished. It's pretty cool that you and the crew is giving a boat away too. I'm currently building a 15x42 flat bottom right now.

Decades of ownership

Plane Naked made quick work out of 60 year old sun baked paint on my Cessna. Relatively inexpensive for a 5 gallon container

I watched a guy use aircraft stripper to remove paint from a small plane. Once he applied the stripper, he pressed plastic into it. Not sure what mil thickness it was. Kept it from drying out. Worked pretty good

Thanks, man!

Try those Lamsion Rust Remover discs. I just used them today to knock rust off my trailer. All the paint came with it, down to bare metal in seconds, no chemicals.

Yes rent some boats. I usually don't get much time to spend in Havasu especially pulling the boat but if I could hop in the car and jet out there and hop on one of your boats would be awesome. I've got a 23' deck boat I bought in havasu but hoping to pick up one of your kits for my 1976 12' deep v mirrorcraft and be the slayer of our small lakes

Love it!! Keep it rolling

We use Bonderite S-ST 6776 Lo Aero in the aviation industry. Use ScotchBrite and Simple Green (or a similar method) to remove accumulated soils from the paint, then apply the stripper. It wil normally get you down to the metal within 15 minutes and washes away with water.

Solvable stripper. One liter for whole boat and had extra left over. 5 -10 min and 3 layers are falling off. Took like 1 hour total including stripper, scrape then brillo pad and wire brush by hand to finish.

A lot of people have these old StarCrafts.

Depending on what axle you have, you can put axle on top of leaf springs to lower the trailer the height of the axle( usually 2-3". I'm building a jet jon and I want my trailer super low too. Let's me put-in a lot more shallow places

I wish I would have washed this a few days ago. I got my grandfather's 1430? Flat bottom Jett boat, would that be too narrow to put a deck on? I'm trying to restore it. Thanks again for all the informative videos

A torch and a scraper works good sometimes for removing paint but not always

Im doing the same thing i see at least 6 different colors on there. Boat is from the 1950s. I just need to strip all the paint to inspect for more holes lol. It actually appears to be an embossed aluminum or whatever they call it when its kind of rough/dimpled like the exterior of your grandmas fridge, so it's hard to get all the paint off the little nooks. My plug in wire wheel takes forever and my hands are numb from hours also getting stabbed by those little pieces. I'm like 10% done and I'm already over it. Defintiely gonna try that easy off and maybe test a few different paint strippers side by side. That top coat of black paint is THHIIICCCC too.

Easy off is an old modlers trick to strip paint off plastic scale models to repaint. Works great

Awww snap! I want to get over to the shop in illinois. I’m about 30 min away. Got 2 boats this year and almost a 3rd. #addicted

A wire wheel on an electric drill is the best way. A pointed circular sandeder is also great.

Thanx for the hard work doing great. I heard if you cover your project with painters plastic after putting the paint stripper on helps because the fumes won’t escape just idea for next 1.
