Do you need a complete bottom job?Each time I repaint the bottom, I wet sand with the sanding sponge, let it dry a day or two and put the same, or compatible, bottom paint on.Don't need to get to bare bottom unless changing paints or if it's so thick that lots of chunks come off.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

The high pressure spray that removed the previous saltwater growth of 1.5 years (during the survey in July) also removed part of the protective coat of anti-fouling that was left. I thought I would get around to re-doing the bottom this past summer/fall. It didn’t happen. Now I'm approaching winter and contemplating a haul-out in November (in rainy Vancouver) or waiting until spring. But I’m not sure how much more work would be involved by putting it off until spring. Would like to hear some other opinions on this. I also have a marina telling me soda blasting is the way to go. And based on the hell that is involved with a project like this, my lack of time and the weather, I’m contemplating it.
