Neil; I forgot to add that to my earlier post: we did the same; four coats of
the G-flex epoxy on the entire hull, (including keel), then two coats of bottom
paint: Intreprotect 2000e; at least I know its done right!

Charlie,
I just finished this process about two weeks ago.
Each year because of the flaking I would sand the hull, getting rid of
some old buildup, but inevitably the newly applied antifouling paint would
flake off more of the old stuff and mess up the paint. I finally had
enough, had the yard soda blast, cost $2,000 to bring in the contractor.
The gel coat on my '73 35-1 is in poor shape, lots of crazing and pitting.
I did some filling with G-glex epoxy/410 filler on the worst stuff, then 4
coats Interprotect 2000e and anitfouling. (The yard quoted me $7,000 to put
on one coat of primer and two coats of antifouling, if the price had been
somewhat reasonable I would have had them do that too.)
Everyone who removed the paint by hand (with smaller boats than my 35)
said "don't do it by hand", and I'm sure they're right, just the filling and
painting was bad enough on my back.
