Re: Stus-List end of my search - painting topsides

Bad advice indeed! Once blistering occurs, the work to be done goes much further and gets exponentially more expensive than simply blasting and barrier coating. Danny, this is a new-to-you boat found after much searching and will likely be with you for quite a while. If you are going to do a

Rich, Are you suggesting that if a 30 year old boat hasn't blistered yet, that it is likely to? My thoughts/statements were twofold, assess exactly what Danny meant by needing a bottom job and advise that if multiple layers of bottom paint is the only concern that he could probably get away with

Congratulations. There’s one sitting in my slip at my house right now. It’s owned by a Norwegian couple that have spent three (winter) seasons in the Bahamas on it. They’re currently prepping to do do it again with a stop in NYC before heading South. They’re planning on stopping back at our

Re: Stus-List end of my search

Danny, If you decide to recondition your hull surfaces I would suggest, per Josh and Dennis, using AwlCraft 2000 or something similar for the reasons that they state, ease of repair. It’s softer than AwlGrip but repairable. My understanding is that you should get 10 years without having to

So, a roll and tip job is cheap and would not be worthy of Awlgrip. Awlcraft is the product I was suggesting for ease of repair. You could probably DIY with a helper or two and get away for less than $1k. If the bottom doesn't show signs of blistering then i would simply sand and feather the

Re: Stus-List end of my search - painting topsides

I had Touche' painted with Awlcraft rather than Awlgrip. Easier to blend and repair than Awlgrip. I sanded the topsides and had a pro shoot the paint. Used a Hutchins Hustler straight line sander. Took 3 coats of high build primer followed by the Awlcraft. Looks awesome! The sander removed

Hi Dave, thanks!  I've read just about every article on this model and have been laying after one but I never thought all the stars would EVER align enough to actually own one!  the wife is not overly enthused about the dark wood interior but she couldn't deny the exceptional value of this

Re: Stus-List end of my search

Danny, When you say topside paint are you talking about the hull (freeboard, area between the water and toe rail)? Or are you talking about the deck (everything above the toe rail)? Either way you're probably looking at the better part of $10k. For hull/freeboard paint I suggest that avoid

Re: Stus-List end of my search

Hi Josh! In considering topsides to be waterline to toe rail. I honestly would prefer gel coat. I don't really understand the rush to paint. Gelcoat seems to want to come back to life even after years of neglect. I thought that, because she is painted already, I had no choice but to paint

OK all.  It's looking like we're going to be proud owners of a 1985 tartan 40.  Survey went well we have come to terms on price, AND I had absolutely no problem with financing a 30 year old boat.  All there is to do now is finalize paperwork and the yard down there is taking care of a few
