Lots of progress on my M17 #248 the last couple of days. In addition to bow to stern cleaning outside/inside I took off mast/standing rigging and inspected and all looks good. I had some inspiration last night to use a heavy polish compound to the heavily oxidized hull to see how well it would work and 4 hours later the hull looks incredible. I’ll leave it as is for now with a polish/wax next spring. The boat is going to a local sandblaster expert tonight for a bottom 3-4 layer paint removal. I’ll seal up a couple through hulls then put a bottom barrier on over winter. I would like to reseal the deck joint since it probably is due for it. Any recommendations as far as that project is concerned? Thanks Erik Sent from my iPhone
