Re: Bottom Shot
How long did it take you to remove the old paint? I repaint my Seafari every 4 years with Slickote, but I haven't removed the old paint entirely. I just go at it with 80 grit and a hand sander to smooth it out. The previous owner had it sandblasted and epoxy'd before he repainted, now 10 years ago.

Re: Bottom Shot
Fr.Frank It took about 8 hours with the 5" discs.Used the 3M drill attachment with the velcro pad which made it easy to change discs.Whole job took 3 days.Day1 remove from trailor and remove paint(long day).Second day hand sand wipe and 2 coats paint.Third day put back on trailor and paint the 4 support areas.
