One of the few things I don't like about the CS is its iron keel. Last
spring I bit the bullet and took the whole thing down to bare metal, put on
a coat of the Interlux primer wash and put on multiple coats of Interprotect
2000E. Just looked at it after hauling. You'd have to look pretty close to
even realize it's an iron keel. Dunno how long it will last, but for now I'm
a happy camper.

Modern coatings are amazing. I'm at over 5 yrs on my bottom job and
just starting to see signs I need to haul.
