Nice boat, Enjoy it!
We ended up carpeting the bunkers. I used an self etching primer on the console. Today we was cutting holes in the console for the tach and switch panel. We used tape to protect the paint. When we pulled the tape off the paint came with it. :-( I've heard you also suppose to wash the aluminum down with white vinegar. I think I'll just let someone else paint it. It's like deja vu all over again.
