I just went out and tried an SOS pad. The paint came off easily. It shines
the metal a little, but that's liveable, as it will oxydize soon. The
places where it is oversprayed are thin misty kinds of spray patterns. This
will be much easier than I thought. I did discover that I will have to
drill out some of the through the hull rivets to totally remove benches and
console, but I can put back gasketed bolts and nylocks. With the benches
and console completely removed, I can get a nice coat of paint on them, and
make them acceptable looking again. Don't want to go into restoration, but
I do like to have things looking nice.

But I'll probably take it fishing a few times first just like it is.
Probably stop catching fish out of it when I doll it up, tho. Seems that's
the way it goes. Maybe I'll just leave it like it is...... get a couple
cans of rattlepaint ..... some brown and green and paint it camo. Sneak up
on those fish.........
