Re: sander advice??
Well I'm not sure what these guys use on these boat restorations but I'm a carpenter and I have been using the same Porter Cable 6" Random Orbital sander for ten years!!! Which included rebuilding a fiberglass body for a cj5 jeep. So it has been quite abused and still kickin!! I'm not sure if the newer ones have a dust port for hooking up a vac or not!! Here is the porter cable info: Model 7335
3.7 Amp, AC only
Electronic variable-speed dial 2,500-6,000 OPM
Random, swirl-free sanding action
Spiral/bevel gears
100% ball bearings
Standard Equipment: Sander, PSA pad, abrasive disk, side handle, and operating manual
A lot of people i work with love the Fein 6" Random Orb. which does have a vaccum hook up!!!! Here's there info: Model MSf 636-1
