Scraping the bottom: Day two

The second day actually went so much smoother than the first. Once you learn the technique and concentrate on small areas, kind of small victories instead of major battles. I have no pictures from the first day but rest assured, the progress was slower and the level of frustration was higher.

Pic above shows the progress forward from stern. As this is a half-planing hull there are only two lists on the bottom which makes scraping s much easier. 

There you have it, a small patch of cleaned 43 year old gelcoat. Hand sanded after the initial scraping has been done. This is what keeps you going, I'm already imaging the whole bottom scraped and sanded. Well, after that there's still some more sanding an filling etc to live for...
