Next, a different grit to get the rest of the paint off, then it's
sanding and coating with some kind of new vinyl ester paint - supposed
to be better than gel coat.

WHOO HOO!!

Now the hull will be all white - like real boats should be. :)

If you were re-doing the hull of a real boat, you would be in the
dirt, pounding cotton

I have heard a lot about that Vinylester, but have never used it. I
think it dries softer, but durable anyway, than epoxy based products.
It can also be used for layup and bedding. Are you doing it yourself,
how will you apply it if so, and let me know, I will come and help if
I can

No tarp below the boat to capture the contaminants?

Shame, shame.

Don't have to - cement pad.

Sweep it up.

Sand seems as if it would be bad item to use on gel coat. More likely soda
blasting or glass beads maybe.

Oh no - I'm not doing it. It's being done in S. Windsor.

I may take you up on sanding the hull though.

I guess I never saw an earthen brown cement pad. ;-)

Gee - ever stop to think that, well, sand is brown?

Hope the project works out for you.

It's looking good at this point. Only took me two years to get around
to it. :)
