Good choice on the sander. I have that one as well and it's been going strong for about 4 years now.

That's good news that the hull is in good shape. That will make it much easier. I use the board as well as a variety of sanding blocks pretty much exclusively on the hull. The board is for sanding. It allows you to carry a true line over a greater distance. Same as a sanding block just bigger.

If you can make it down to Pompano, I'll be glad to show you how to do it. I normally work on Saturdays but check with me before you come.

I'll check on some sources for pads for that sander. Did it come with a hard pad? That's very useful too.
