Cmon guys suck it up and get the respirator coveralls and DA out, I did my 24' last spring, I got it all done in a jiffy and had a nice clean bottom.

I found a guy in Naragansett that will soda blast for $40 a foot. His name is John Armstrong phone 401-378-7881. If you call it couldn't hurt if you tell him you know me. He'll be doing my boat sometime before the end of the month. I'll let you know how it goes.

MM;
I may have seen his truck while I was filling up at PTJ Marina Monday... wanted to ask him about it but was in a rush...
good luck...

and beamie... spot on; get the loose %$%$%$%$ off and then paint it with ablative... good till next year!

[beamie]

Lately I have been using an ablative product. But I must say I would never trust it for another year, and I always sand or scuff things up to get some off. I can never believe when products say things like no sanding and good for 3 years etc. I like to put on a thin coat and go.

Hey Guys, new here but not new to boats

If you really want to get it all off and not hurt the gelcoat, you can use somthing called Nutec, iis specifically designed for this task. I have used it for years ans you just brush it on,leave it sit, and come back with a putty knife and slide it right off. This is all we use now as it works so good. If yanyone needs any more info just let me know.
