I sent out the cry for help below a few days ago. Since nobody answered I thought that it might have got lost in the mail so I'm giving it one more try. Thanks, Rick M-17 #633 Lynne L On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 9:14 AM, Rick Davies <jdavies104@gmail.com> wrote:
My boat was kept for two years in salt water by the original owner, who painted the bottom with a copper-colored ablative bottom paint. I have trailer-sailed the boat for almost four years in fresh water, and the paint is now showing its age, besides making a big mess when washed with On and Off. Does anyone have any advice about how to remove the old ablative paint and what it should be replaced with? I was thinking of sanding, but the recent posts on gelcoat damage from sanding are making me rethink that and ask for help.
Thanks,
