we had her sandblasted yesterday , and this process took 8 hours ,wow the sandblaster really had to earn his money, over at least 6 coats of paint with some sort of epoxy at the very last layer, rust found in bow section of boat next to keel,by port side rudder, under fuel tanks, under battery box starboard side,and even one very small spot under galley sink. some holes as big as a nickle,some as small as a tip of a ballpoint pen. I guess we will be trying to find a good welder now to put on patches, I already bought a sheet of steel 3/16ths of a inch, all this after having a GOOD SURVEY last year in august,before purchase.we are applying interlux primewash after sandblast then 3 coats of 2000/2001 followed by bottom paint(this is what we were told to do by Interlux),I was wondering if this boat should have any anodes on it , it already has the Capac system on it.
if I could figure out how to post pictures I would.....
