Good to know.

Maybe the boat you saw was sand blasted?

I stand corrected, he did have soda blasting (he called it soda ash).
He said it chewed up the gelcoat but did not go through. It left it chalky so it needed mega cleaning and then barrier coating which he said was a nasty job (worse than bottom painting)..I guess if you have to then just expect lots of work after its done.

Good Luck
