After much deliberation and some trial and error trying to prep the bottom for another coat of paint I decided it was best to remove all the existing paint and start with a clean slate. Mainly due to two decent size patches I found after power washing the bottom and so I want to make sure no other repairs are needed. As the dustless blaster guy is working as I write this I have very high hopes when he is finished I will be just about ready to get to work painting.
I plan to put three coats of Pettit Protect (Gray/white/gray) and then two coats of TotalBoat Krypton (Blue/Black). I suspect I could get away with just a single primer coat of the Pettit Protect but after seeing the work that goes into prepping the bottom I feel this extra protection is worth the time and money. Hopefully next year I can just brush off the bottom and put another coat of bottom paint.
Oh yeah, I am using trailer mounted boat jacks to get the boat off the bunks and they work great! I will post some pics with results in the next few days.
