Big cash for 2/3 days work

[mad_boater]

I have just received a ludicrus quote for scraping off antifoul back to gell coat. Hence my plea for help.I suppose most, if not all of the contributors of this forum have enough work to do on their own boats.I am hoping someone might know of an able bodied person that might be intersted in the work? the boat is in the Southampton area

Would you believe £1200.00 for a 35ft cruiser?

Quite a few coats, now resemberling the texture of elephant hide not exactly helping speed or fuel consumption

Hmm. But £1200 buys alot of fuel. How about not putting any more on for a bit and let it just waste away. Sand it down a bit.

Problem is the antifoul on at the moment is useless . The bottom resembled a botanicle garden less than a month after re launch

But yourself a skarsken (Spelling) scraper and a couple of blades, this will remove antioul coating and not scratch gell, then wipe off residue AF with AF thinners.
These scapers are good, as any good decorator will tell ask the sales guy how to use it..

Blades are sharpened by a file run along the blade.
