Default Blues (and blacks and reds, too!) while going... HOWS YOUR BOTTOM NOW SKIP?


The next major project was to clean off the bottom of the boat so we could
do a new bottom coat.


Between the blister repairs we did in our original,


We'll also be doing a new barrier coat - special paint which will keep water
away from the fiberglass, which can aborb moisture, leading to blisters,
later. *We've taken most if not all of the barrier coat which was applied
over a "peel job" (removing all the original gel coat, the factory means of
applying a barrier to the fiberglass during manufacture) at a very long time
ago in a prior owner's history, during our blister repairs in our initial
refit




Dear skip
please describe your bottom history.
im very interested in you "peel job" and "barrier coat" and blister
job... and how your bottom looks now?
