[Public-List] removing bottom paint

[J B Knapp]

Roger:

I have not done the soda blasting, but several people at my club have 
with superior results. They said that all the old paint came off to the 
original gelcoat and that all they had to do was apply the new bottom 
paint. One even had his entire boat soda blasted and repainted the 
topsides as well.

I am considering it for my Victoria 18 and would consider it for the A30 
as well, if it is practical due to locations and size.
