Hi Chuck,
 
I have my boat in Mattapoisett at triad boatworks.  The walnut was a lot less 
than $5000!  They gave me a per ft number but I can't remember it right now.  
However, the complete bottom job start to finish with materials was about $5k 
to $6K
 
If I pull my notes out later I'll give you better indications of cost.
 
Danny

Chuck:
 
 I have no first hand experience with either soda or walnut blasting.� I did 
however have the bottom of my boat 'dry ice blasted' to remove the antifouling 
paint down to the gelcoat.
 
 Dry ice blasting is a very quick, clean and effective method to strip bottom 
paint.� Perhaps another option if there is anyone in your area that does it.

Hi Danny,
Can I ask who did the walnut stripping on your boat and at which yard?� I�m 
having my �new� 1983 Landfall 35 brought down from the North Shore of Mass to 
the South Coast in early January and the bottom paint is flaking off in chunks, 
revealing the shiny original gel coat underneath in most places.� I would say 
that the paint over shiny gel coat method was not terribly effective for 
adhesion.
� Speaking to the service manager at Concordia about soda blasting, he tells me 
that the soda medium leaves a very rough finish on the bottom that takes a 
significant amount of labor to prep the bottom afterwards to allow bottom paint 
go on nice and smooth.� Perhaps he was also implying that the boat should have 
a barrier coat added as well� either way, with soda blasting and subsequent 
bottom prep, we were talking� in excess of $5000.
� With that info, I had planned to chip off as much of the old paint as 
possible, sand down the rest using and orbital sander with a vacuum attachment, 
leaving just enough �tooth� on the gel coat hull surface to repaint.� It would 
be a lot of work, but I could do it in my yard and build my upper body strength 
at the same time!
However, the walnut shell medium sounds like it may be the ticket if it is less 
invasive to the gel coat than soda blast and if I basically want to start with 
a blank canvas of a hull to prep and paint. ��Would love to hear from others 
that have used the walnut shell method and what they�ve done to prep afterwards.
Best,
Chuck Gilchrest
