Hey Ron - You're using your DA to sand I assume, and if so you using 80 grit ??

I gave it a quick sanding with a DA with 80 grit, but the bottom paint was in VERY good condition!
Then I gave it a sanding by hand with a red scuff pad,
Blew it off, masked, then rolled a coat on!

Beetle,
You doing bottom paint, so that means you're keeping you're boat in a slip?

Well I got my new trailer Thursday and once I get ambitious enough to shovel a path to the boat I will get my electronics box and electronics back on board fix a couple gel coat dinks on the keel and service the motor and off I go;)
