Just spent the weekend (finally) getting my boat launched with a working power train, but all weekend there was the meditative tap tap tap of little hammers and chisels from nearby, as the sad owners of a very pretty newer Beneteau spent yet another day patiently chipping and chipping and chipping the epoxy barrier coat off of their entire red- rusting-iron keel. And this was a freshwater boat! They found grinding and sanding even slower. I'm not sure what they will do to it next, but it made me feel a lot better about my annoying C&C "smile" ... a small thing in comparison.
and if anyone else still has the original 1980 packing gland hose, let me strongly recommend not leaving home with it. Just replaced mine since I was putting the engine back in, and the condition of the old hose and the C&C fiberglass job connecting the stern tube to the hull... was more than a bit scary (and I even considered leaving well enough alone - sure glad I decided to replace and then also epoxy repair around the stern tube).
