db, I really don't know why anyone would paint a stripper either, but they did & the guy I bought it from had sanded on the hull with intent of refinishing it, but never did.

I once worked for a restoration company that did insurance repair/rebuilds after fires etc. Sometimes we would have to gut a room down to the stud wall. I can't tell you the number of times we ripped out Oak Flooring or door/window trim that the homeowner had PAINTED because they said they were tired of maintaining the wood finish :-?
I know once we got the dumpster back to the shop, a lot of that wood mysteriously disappeared ;)
 I have too think something similar happened to that stripper?
