Hi Rob
I responded to your message but I got a bounce back saying my post was
rejected (too many attachments I guess)
You had asked what I did to the bottom and about the blue paint.
The Blue was original (too me) and it only looks bad in the photos because
it desperately needs a pressure wash. On the bottom I used some home-made
caustic paint strip (similar to peel away). You can see the crusty paste
in one of the photos. After I got down to bare gel coat, I found a few
cracks and cut them out and repaired them (see photos) and then I filled in
the dings, gouges and blisters with a paste I made of marine grade epoxy
and talc.
Next I got some two part barrier coat from James T. Davis formulated for
water proofing swimming pools. It was $80 and came in two one-gallon
cans. Good stuff and was enough to also barrier coat my Balboa 26. Nice
self leveling, very smooth finish and no amine blush. I can highly
recommend it. The red paint on the bottom is two coats of oil based enamel
(Rustoleum).
I hope that answers all your questions....
