Thanks Rick. From email exchange with previous owners I’m guesstimating that the prior paint job (also Interlux, over primer) was 20+ years old, on top of the original, faded gelcoat. I buffed and waxed it the first year I had her, and got it looking pretty good, but it oxidized fast and I couldn’t ever get it looking as good again (didn’t try wet sanding; just went in for the new paint job).
I’ll definitely keep her waxed, probably spring and fall every year, with carnuba. Before launch in the spring I’ll repaint the boot stripe, put on new transom decals, and wax over all that. She’ll have the winter to cure.
