Thanks for the info, Mark.  My boat now has ablative and most of it is in<br>pretty good shape.  I was hoping to avoid stripping the whole thing down<br>which I assume I'd have to do in order to put on the Petit Trinidad.<br><br>On 4/1/03 3:21 PM, "Mark Kaynor" <mark@kaynor.org> wrote:<br><br>> Steve,<br>> <br>> Matt Peterson, #329, Opu Nui<br>> <br>>    As a hull diver, I have strong opinions about bottom paint.
