Hello I've read this site alot but first time posting. I have a 28-5 that I purchased and had planed to refinish the bottom, but the previous owner started to sandblast it and I can't see the old waterline. The boot stripe is there but I can't tell where the waterline is. When I redo the epoxy I want to bring it up to the waterline and put he boot stripe slightly higher. The bottom will be black and the stripe blue. Am I right in thinking this is the proper approach? Jeff
