    I acquired a 1970s era Sears v-hull jon boat

    it has roughly 3 layers of paint on it: tan, black, and green

    I will be using a wire wheel on a drill as well as the same on an angle grinder to get rid of the paint

    I'm taking guesses on the number of man hours necessary to completely sand it in prep for new paint

    I will have a buddy helping, and his hours will also be added in

    Here is a pic of the boat for reference

    [​IMG]


    You have until i complete it to make your guess...1 guess per person...winner will get something (i'm just not sure what yet)

    I have 1 can of aircraft stripper but it will be used only once all other sanding is done and it'll be used to get into little spots the wire wheels wont



    OK GO!

    Does man hours include the time anyone else works on it? Ex: say you work 7 hours and a friend helps for 3 of them, does this count as 10 hours?

    For the record, I don't want the boat If I win, I'm just playing to see if I'm right. If I win, give it to the second place person.

    And keep in mind...this is JUST for the man hours for stripping the boat of the old paint...both inside and out

    I've already removed all the wood/seats/etc so that time does not count
