Default Bottom Paint ,,, 20 layers of Bottom Paint ,,, how to removeit.

Roger's right. I didn't have $2,500, so I went part way with my 26
footer. I paid to have the old paint soda blasted off for about $25/Ft.
It removed the old ablative and the barrier coats, and exposed all the
blisters that had been hidden.

I then spent 50 hours digging out and filling blisters, finish sanding
the entire hull, applying 3 barrier coats and 3 ablatives. It was very
rewarding but I'll never to it again. Next time I'll have it blasted
and inspect it thoroughly after blasting, blister repair, barrier and
ablative coats and pay for all that.

Good luck!
Mike

By far, the best and approved method for a boat about the size I
recall Tom talking about is a piece of paper about 3" x 5" properly
printed by a bank with about $2,500 written on it

As most of you know, I'm a real do-it-yourselfer but some things just
aren't worth it.
