Well, I've finally been able to work on my 222 the last couple weekends. I was making really good progress on it about 6-9 months ago, but had to put everything on hold to work on our FROG to get it ready to move my son up there. That included adding a bathroom and building a closet. The reason we were moving him up there was because we now have a 4 month old daughter. So, we've had a few excuses. Anyway, I've FINALLY finished sanding the bottom of the boat down to gelcoat. It had an epoxy barrier coat under several layers of bottom paint. I would have left the barrier coat, but it was covering some poorly repaired and prepped spots all over the bottom. I'm thinking someone did some blister repair at one time. All I have to do before repairing and repainting is grind out a few more spots (some of the improperly repaired divots). Just another couple hours and I think I will officially be at the point of putting stuff onto the boat instead of taking it off!

Congrats on your new arrival! We always wanted a little girl but it just wasn't in the cards and we had to settle for three boys,-- but you know what? One of those boys' wives gave us twin girls. So we finally got our wish. We get to see them twice a week when they come over to stay with us for the day.
I'm glad that you're making some great strides on the boat. I just posted some of my 222 mods in my Owner's Picture Album on this site. So if you haven't seen them yet, check it out and feel free to use them on your boat. Also, if you have any questions on them, let me know. Please keep us posted on your progress. It's going to come out great when it's finished.
Joe
