Fred:
The contractor's normal price was $40 per foot of boat length.....he
gave me a deal $20 per ft because he wanted to use me/my boat for
promotional purposes. Now that was the Spring of 2006
Unfortunately for him, it didn't work very well......I think he got two
power boat owners at the club who witnessed the job on my boat. I
still don't understand why this process isn't used more.
My boat was a real challenge.....it had 21 years of vinlylux and VC
17.....he said if he were doing a bottom with an ablative paint, it
would have taken half the time.....maybe why he gave me the half price
deal.....he didn't see the boat before he showed up to clean it.....we
normally don't use VC 17 here.

Hi David,
I heard good things about dry ice and soda, Walnuts are supposed
to be good too. (Mine was done the old fashion way with an
abrasive wheel. The guy did a remarkable job, but you really have
to know what you're doing to avoid digging into the gelcoat)
As for barrier coating I was advised against it as well (Supposed
to trap moisture) and did not re-coat . I would go with the local
knowledge / recommendations as different waters / climates
dictate different approaches. I'm in fresh water witch is worse
for osmosis.
