I went to a seminar at the Windsor Yacht Club last night. Our steel hull needs to be sandblasted. I was told to use Interlux Interprotect 2000E- about 6 coats as an epoxy. As a antifoulant, I was told to use Interlux MicronCSC.

This would definately work, however, there are a few problems...first, the boat will be difficult to have sandblasted as our 'neighbors' are very close...it was suggested we find someone to waterblast. Any suggestions?

Second...the 2000E Epoxy is $80/gallon and we'll need 10 gallons (approx) + the cost of sand/waterblasting and the antifoulant. Is there a cheaper way/product that will still do the job right?? The total cost will be about 3k.

Help.
