Answer this one, Gianny and it means you're closer to adding pics on post #4.

Is the current paint badly chipped and scratched? The condition more or less determines the need to strip.

Welcome to the forum.

Not terrible more scuffed than anything. Boat still has original paint and I purchased it from the original owner who bought it new

I promised her to restore the boat to original condition.

That paint looks like it just needs rubbing compound and polish to remove oxidation and restore shine. Might be worth a try before stripping....

Looks nice. What did you do to prep and whose paint, spray or roll?

I used Total Boat Wet Edge Topside Paint and Primer, brushed on after a good sanding.
