Well I should of spent the 500 bucks to have the whole hull soda blasted. I put 12 hours in to remove the 4 layers of paint and etching primer off the hull. It is done now and no more looking back. The paint was hard as a rock and the 7 inch polisher with the 80 grit green corps was the only thing cutting it. I would sand through 3 layer of paint to the primer and take the rest off with the 5 inch porter cable with 120 grit. I sanded the majority of the inside with 220 to smooth all the orange peel off. My plans for the up coming week are picking the tank up form SP tanks, make 3 fiberglass bulkheads, glassing up the platform for the gas tank. and start building the mold for the deck.
