In some places it is fibreglass, in others gelcoat. I think I will try to find a chemical paint stripper

I want to be out on the boat all summer, not sanding it

What should I paint it with? What kind of paint? Primer or no primer?

I will take a picture when I go to the boatyard at the weekend

I am not sure that we have that brand in Europe. Paint stripper is a good idea though, I will go to the paint store and ask what they have

It is really not a phenomenal price. The boat is very small, only 5 metres by 1.5 metres, and the quote only includes the inside

It is not that straightforward. When rainwater gets in the boat I have to get it out with a bucket and mop and paint peelings go in the sea and contaminate it. I don't think it is too much to ask to be able to get rid of the peeling paint

The boat is great, she is a little pilotino with an outboard engine. I just use her to go out with friends in the afternoon and swim, not to go far or to sleep on. Actually I love the boat. It is just the peeling paint that I don't like

Neither of those is an option. The boat is not even worth 1,800 EUR. I cannot spend all summer sanding the boat. There has to be another option.

Can anyone help with some advice? My boat was painted inside (cockpit, cabin, floors, everything) by the ex-owner with an oil based gloss paint (the kind you would paint a door in your house with). He did not put on any primer so of course it is all peeling off, it looks terrible and is a...

I need to find a used ALPHA ONE GEN II , COUNTER ROTATION , RATIO 1.84 sterndrive for my Sea Ray. Does anyone have any idea where to get one, except just going through all the parts dealers on the internet? The dealers don't seem to post them on ebay, is there some other portal? Europe...

I need to buy a reconditioned carburetor for my Sea Ray Sundancer 290, part number Mercruiser 3310-818660A1. Does anyone know where I can get one? I need it delivered to Europe within the next two weeks. Would be grateful for any advice, thanks

I have a 1992 Sea Ray Sundancer 290. She weighs 5 tonnes. I have a danforth anchor which I believe is 12kg, and 25 metres of chain. I normally put all the chain out and the anchor has never dragged (touch wood). We are going away for 17 days in August and I would like to buy a second anchor in...

I need parts for my Mercruiser engines (transoms) which were unfortunately damaged by galvanic current leaking from a neighbouring boat. I need two of the same part, the part number is: 6111002 LE OR 6111002 LP I would ideally like second hand parts, does anyone know where I could get them...

But what are my options to repair this damage? Do the parts have to be replaced or is there some other solution? Thanks
