I've decided to take advntage of some availble slips at the Mobile YC to wet store my M-15 at least some of the time. Thus she needs a good bottom job. I've sanded the hull and put four coats of interlux 2000E barrier coat on the hull. I suspended her from the power hoist, did the work, then returned her to the trailer after the coatings were dry. This weekend I put a fifth coat of 2000E on, waited til it was set the applied the first coat of Interlux "ultra" bottom paint. One more coat and I'll spash her. I need a dry day with the temp above 65 degrees. Sometimes hard to find in the winter, even here (thank God for Global Warming). I originally was using the belly band to lift the boat but It got in the way so I installed two lift eyes thru the teak rub strips on the gunnel just aft of the weight center. Seems to have woorked out well. I've got a few pictures if anyone is interested. Don M-15 # 620 Sweet Dream
