I have fished on a few boats in that league and those are temperamental thoroughbreds and require constant attn. There is always a sensor going off and multiple things that always need attn. It has to be a cost-is-no-option affair. There are so many systems on board that it is overwhelming. You really need one guy "just for the boat" another to drive the boat and two more for crew. Great boats but you have to have mega bucks to run them.

Your down east a very simple machine. enjoy what you have.

Why not use ablative paint and you should do away with most of the sanding.

Sanding bottom paint will take time off your life. Seriously, it is nasty #^&#^&#^&#^&.
