Painting an Alumacraft
 
What are the steps required to paint the outside/inside (but not the
bottom) of a 10ft Alumacraft? What kind of paint should I buy? Are you
supposed to sand off the 'drab olive' paint before you start painting?
What's the best way to sand it off?

my 2 cents - take for what it is worth.....

Leave the paint on, clean it up and lightly sand it with fine paper.
For paint I would think just about any good quality marine paint with flex
aditive would work.
