Good Soda Blaster in the area????
Purchased a boat that was bottom painted which is not needed as I will trailer the boat.
Looking for recommendations as I know you can screw up a bottom if its not done right. Want someone to strip it, dont care if they polish the gel or return it as is. I just dont want to do the actual blasting.
Anyone have this done with success???

Come on now I thought the Powerplay family was tight, figured you would have heard by now lol
Picked up the 25' that was in Harrison. ONLY thing I didn't like about it was the bottom paint. Nice clean '94 otherwise. Talked to a couple people and it sounds like if it was done right (which I believe it was) I may be better off just going with something like VC-17 and living with it.
Just listed the pantera and putting the phantom together to list as well. time to clean house!!!
Have your PP out yet this year?

If you left the paint on and found a slip it'd be cool just to leave in the water for convenience.
I haven't splashed yet. Needed new belts and didn't want to waste the few nice days of spring doing it so I was stuck waiting for the beacon cove marina guys to do it.....(they said it'd be done by Memorial, they lied). Hopefully this weekend is nicer than the forecast!
When are you taking this thing out, as I assume the plan is to use this as the runabout while getting everything together?

Thanks guys, turned out to be a pretty nice boat. I just went to check it out as I haven't seen a 25' in person before. Ended up following me home..
Worst thing is the bottom paint (ok and the trailer that doesnt fit the boat). Need to look at how tough it will be to get it off otherwise I'm just going to smooth it out and hit it with some VC-17. Slip...convenience...hmmm that might actually mean I get out on the water more this year!!!
Hope to be out saturday as well assuming the weather is even halfway decent. Maintenance items today and maybe a quick water test to the Power Tour at metro before it ends tonight.
