BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND

Now thats out of the way we can begin !!!

1)The old vinyl stripes should come off fairly easy with a heat gun & a razor blade.. If not ,3M makes a eraser type tool that go's on the end of a dremel or drill.

2)There is no such thing as a single part epoxy paint in my opinion.. Yes "THEY" say it is but I beg to differ.. If you want a great shine and the durability for which a catamaran needs then you should make sure that you use a 2 part polyurethane or 2 part epoxy. AWLGRIP , INTERLUX.. Be sure to sand the hulls with 180 grit then prime with a 2 part high build.If you dont know how to spray or don't have the equipment then you can roll & tip..

3)Yes , the hulls need to dry thurally !! Do not put a port hole in front of the forward crossbar !!! Put a 4" behind the rear crossbar approx. 6".. wash hulls out with distilled water to rid them of salt build up... If not fresh water.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
