Been putting this off for about three years, figured now as good of a time as any. I do this about every 8-10 years, but I'm way overdue. The last time was 2005. Also the dash on the port side has had about 8 different bottom machines, radios, Loran C, and various radios. they left many...

Well, after about 10 -15 years it s time to repaint my 13 whaler. I was thinking about using raptor or similar products. My question is how much prep must be done before using it. The deck has molded in nonskid so i won t be able to sand it smooth. I was wondering anyone had any experience...
