I had my C&C 24 Soda blasted in 2016. Awesome! I then did 3-4 coats of interlux barrier coat, then ablative anti-fouling paint.
I did some fairing and minor sanding. Fixes a keel smile with rebed, too. Surveyor this past spring gave me a passing grade on all. It's way easier for sure. And can help you find issues early. Good Luck, Doug s/v Red Sky
