Lief, I thought you had an M15. If so none of the sanding, filling, fairing and coating need to be done. Since I deleted you original message please confirm what boat you have. If it is an M15 I will send more info. If not I apologize. Doug Kelch M15 #310 Seas the Day --- Wudnboatlovr@aol.com wrote:

Hi BG:

Yes, your note helps a lot. Thank You for taking the time to write and send it. At this momene, I'm figuring out if I have a bolt or pin in front. If I understand what I've been reading, both the front and back pins have to be removed in order to get the board out. Was this your experience? I plan to follow your plan: Blast, coat quickly, coat thickly, fill, fair, prime and paint with epoxy barrier coat and finally bottom paint.

Getting the board out is the next big hurdle.

Stay in touch,

Leif Eriksson _______________________________________________
