I did this:
Aircraft stripper from AutoZone
Palm sander with rough grit stuff I had laying arou
Blew off with air hose
Wiped down with brake parts cleaner
2 coats self-etching primer
4 coats camo paint
On the rails, I did:
Sanded by hand
Brake parts cleaner
Bedliner
On the seats:
Same as hull, but put bedliner before primer and paint

I just semi-inherited a boat similar to this. Do you have finished pics? It has steering and throttle, but is not installed. do they make consoles for these kinds of boats that can house that, or am I on my own trying to custom something up?
very interested in this topic. My dad's had an impossible life with more loss than I hope I ever have to go through, it would be life changing for him if I could refinish/rebuild this thing with/for him. Identical to the OPs boat. It's in fine structural condition and has a johnson 45 in great shape as well. but other than that is very raw with a poor paint job.
