My boat hasn't had the bottom paint removed entirely since at least 2000.
It appears the former owner had the hull sanded as needed and another coat
of paint applied each season. I was considering having the bottom soda
blasted back to the gel coat and the painted. (the boat is in the water
year round). When the boat was out for the survey the hull checked out OK
but when you ran your hand over the bottom it certainly wasn't smooth. Does
this affect performance? Anybody have any advise on the soda blasting
technique? Any advise you could offer would be appreciated.
