Hi all
We are finishing off the jobs needed to get the
boat out of the cold and down to
Mexico (pacific side). You always hear stories about how
cheap things are in
Mexico so we are thinking of saving the our bottom job till we get there.
We need to strip about 5-8 layers of ablative, drain and fill any
blisters (none showing now),
epoxy coat and re
paint.
The plan would be to strip it (or have someone do it), let it dry all summer
on the hard and finish it in the fall.
Questions:
Where should we go to do this. So far
research is telling me
San Carlos. Any other opinions?
Anything we should take with us?
Paint? Stripper?
Epoxy? Can we get these things down in Mexico?
If we wanted a local to do the
work do we trust the yard or rely on someone outside of the yard? I expect we would make sure the stripping was finished before we left for the summer.
Anyone done this? Tell me how it worked out. Basic costs (per foot?) would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
