Hull has been flipped, cleaned, degreased, and one side has the ablative coating(black) sanded off. Since the photo was taken, I've stripped it down to gel coat, and took measurements. The designed Hook is on the outside and measures out at nearly 1/2". Other than a moderate case of boat pox, scratches, and a couple previously poorly repaired spots, it appears to be fairly solid. I'm currently about halfway through grinding out the blisters. Once they are all opened, a nice hot water bath will remove any remaining residue from the blister. The ground out areas will then be filled with epoxy fairing. When complete and smooth, the bottom will receive 3-4 coats Interlux interprotect, followed by VC performance epoxy.
