Got somewhat of a mind-bender for all you boat-junckies out there.
Thankx in advance for any and all feedback!.
I have a friend that bought a mid to late 80's Bayliner last summer. The boat has never been stripped below the water line, just lightly sanded every other year for another coat of good ole bottom paint. It now has about 3/16'ths of paint build-up (at least) on her. My friend Gerry, (owner) hit it with a cheapo karcher and was able to blow off about a quarter of it, down to the hull in places but that was pretty much it. I was wondering:
I have access to an industrial sized, diesel fired, 220 amp, 4000 psi (ho ho ho) steam jenny that would just fit into the back of my pick-up. Would this "***** of a machine" be capable of melting off the decade and a half of anti foul or just be a waste of time or possibly just make things worse (212 dgr. steam hitting fiberglass/gel coat)?.
I've always kept my boats on trailers (security reasons) so that anti foul crap is bit of a mystery to me. Just never used it.
Wadya think?????
