Nothing wrong with a little rust... keeps West Marine profitable.

But, I believe you when you say you don't have rust on your boat. Well I must admit at the 8th frame above deck under the cap rail I found a 1/2"X 1/4" spot of rust this week. I will get out the needle gun, wire wheel, endsallrust, metcoat primer and epoxy top coat and stop it as soon as we have weather that will permit me to do a proper job,need a Humidity level below 20%. After that I will use my Elektrophysik-Koln Mikrotest and measure the paint thinkness. I also plan to dive under the boat and check my zincs and see if I need to scrub the bottom.

Scotty, Even a Mac owner can tell if a boat has any rust or not or weather it is well maintained. Jim has a sharp eye. He keeps it in top shape, with a sparkling bright red-orange-yellow paint job.

Seems like a great blue water sailing vessel, You claim the Mac is a great ''blue water'' boat. Hey Joe, he's dissin your ride! Be nice to the new member Scotty, IIRC you owned a Mac. Joe Scotty |
