Hi everyone - I *finally* got around (got the nerve up) to drill and inject a big soft spot on the side of one hull and do a complete bottom job. Thanks to SRM and Sabres for the recommendations and links! (yes, several years ago
).
I have looked into several different gel coat/paint solutions recommended on this forum and it seems Interlux and "roll and tip" is fairly straight forward (with no spraying). However, that seems like a multi-stage, long process (seal, prime, paint, sand, polish) so I'm wondering if there's a quicker marine painting solution that will protect the boat (where the fiberglass and patch work is) so I can get out sailing quickly! I can do the beautiful paint job and spend the time on getting it really nice during the winter in the garage and would like to get it out on the water where it belongs during the summer. I just don't want to damage any of the work already done.
Thanks for any suggestions! Can't wait to get it back out on the water (and I have a nice new 5:1 downhaul to play with
)
Mike
