Brian:
One always has the option doing very little....throw another coat of
paint over the old stuff.
However, if you decide you want to do more than 'very little', you got
it right....."To do this will be costly or very time and labor intensive
on my part. " So true.
So, do you want to strip a 34' hull of antifouling paint (last time I
did it was 1991, won't ever do it myself again) and apply paint......so
that is the very time and labor intensive on your part. And if you
haven't done it before, it will make for even more angst.
Now you can pay to have it done.....pay now and have it done right, its
a long term investment. Won't tell you what I did in 2006 when we
brought our C&C 32.....don't want to be bias.
Life is all about making choices......hope that helps.

The weather has finally broken here in lovely Baltimore and it's time to paint
the bottom. The staff at the boatyard told me that the previous owner had
baltaplate paint and then painted over it with a different type of paint. The
paint is peeling in some areas and they suggest sanding down to the gelcoat and
starting fresh. To do this will be costly or very time and labor intensive on
my part. So my question is can I avoid the cost or labor using some other
method I may not be aware of? I really hope there is a viable alternative. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
