Re: Taking out botton paint
I HAD JACKSON MARIN (WEB SITE ABOVE) DO MY 23’ WITH THE SODA BLASTING METHOD. COST ME $600. AND FOR ME WAS WELL WORTH IT. I FIGURED IT WOULD TAKE 2-4 DAYS OF HARD NASTY WORK FOR ME PLUS $200-300 WORTH OF MATERIAL NOT COUNTING ME NOT HAVING A PLACE TO PUT THE BOAT WHILE THE JOB WAS BEING DONE (THIS IS NOT A DRIVEWAY TYPE JOB). A MARINA WOULD PROBABLY COST ME $100 TO 200 TO PUT THE BOAT ON CHOCKS AND THE USE OF THE SPACE FOR THE DAYS OF USE. BOTTOM LINE ON BOTTOM PAINT REMOVAL IS THIS, ON SOME JOBS IT’S WORTH HAVING SOMEONE ELSE DO IT FOR YA.

Re: Taking out botton paint
I hydroblasted my 23'.It had tons of paint on the bottom, and the blasting worked well. I rented the machine, and did it in the driveway.It takes the paint off, but I really don't think anything will allow you to shine up that old gelcoat.I used sand, and it went real quick you could do the whole thing in a day easy.It does impart a flat, eggshell finish to the gelcoat, but I was going to paint anyway and I had some blister repair to do.All in all, it was quick and pretty cheap and easy to do.From what I've heard the soda is even better, a little less agressive and easier cleanup.

Re: Taking out botton paint
I think I will give the Dolphinite a try since its only a 20 footer and there arent' to many layers there. I will strip it sand it and then paint it(color change at the same time.) with some thing other that traditional bottom paint. Boat will be on a trailer so no anti fouling needed.

Re: Taking out botton paint
Very Good info, I heard about damage to the gelcoat also. When using the stripper how big an area do you cover at a time???? Thanx-craig

Re: Taking out botton paint
Miles Offshore,
I covered an area about 2 feet wide that ran from the keel outboard to the chine. Do the water line area separate so you can take your time there. Scott
