Ah, Joe, Rub it in............ we can take it! If and when spring comes, I am going to put a proper water line and boot top stripe on LEPPO. The former owner in Florida used his paint brush a bit too liberally, and has bottom paint way above the real waterline. I was scratching me head as to how to draw a new waterline, when I saw an ad in Radio Shack for a laser level. That's it I thought - a laser level and then I can spot points all along the waterline and then connect the dots for a nice smooth line. Same for the boot top line. But, Radio Shack sold out their "special" offer in minutes, with no rain checks. Now I got a small laser lever from Lee Valley Tools - $19.- and will start to experiment with it as soon as I can find the boat in the snow pile. Enjoy the trout Connie
Connie, Just an FYI Our laser level has two modes: one is a dot the other is a horizontal line (e.g. set it on something level and it will show you a line all the way across). So the latter might save you a lot of work . I think they sold in the 20-30 dollar range (mine was a gift) or maybe you could borrow one?

Connie, That brings to mind a question I've been mulling over: You say your boat's former owner applied the bottom-paint a little too liberally. How will you remove the excess bottom paint without damaging your gel-coat?
