Just purchased a 1448 duracraft. Boat is in good shape, no leaks or dents. Still has factory paint which is in good shape. I've been searching the forum and have gathered a lot of good information and ideas. The one thing I can't find is the answer to my question. Since the paint on the boat is in good shape, do I need to completely strip the old paint before repainting or can I just clean the exterior, rough it up and put on some good quality paint?

Thanks

when i painted my jon boat, i power washed it, scuffed it up good, primed and painted.  it's holding up good so far.

This one we scuff sanded, cleaned, and painted with spray cans

I gave it away to a friend and It still looks the same 15 years latter

THIS THREAD is all about how I did mine, including materials, stages,etc

Thanks for the information.  As I go along with this project, I'm sure I will a lot more questions.

Thanks.
