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.
