She's got a pretty Bottom
Scraped, sanded, epoxy barrier, 2 coats of ablative... 1 to go which will go right up to the tape. A few more little jobs and she's good to go. Shooting for the 12th

Nice.. most people don't realize how much work goes into to keeping them up....mine is painted as well... 6 hours of sanding on Saturday removing 5 years woth of flaking paint followed by a "steam bath"...no barrier coat.... 2 new coats of bottom paint on Sunday...she looks a pretty today as she did 25 years ago when I got her...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Wow... that is a lot of work. Esp when on a trailer. In the end it is worth it but a lot of time goes into bottom prep.
Looks good.
If I ever move to a house with a dock...I am getting a boat lift...it solves so many problems.
