Hi everyone
I have just purchased this boat and it seems that there are 27 years of AF paint on the bottom. Plan is to remove it but how? Is there an alternative to scraping? safe for the gel coat?
Another question, does anyone know what kind of protection osmosis coating was applied by Hunter before delivery? A couple of months ago a pre-purchase survey showed the hull in very good condition. No sign of bubbles, and chalking, or soft spots.
My plan is to remove old paint and apply one coat of the same anti osmosis paint that Hunter originally used (but what kind of paint is it?) before applying new ablative AF paint.
Anyone did that kind of work? How did it go? Any info will be appreciated as a significant bill is hanging in the air.
