Looks like Mike will be hauling out his boat to do the bottom on October 1st and I will do the  Ericson on the 5th. This is my first time doing the bottom and Mike has offered to help. I really wanted to wait till Spring but last month when I was scrubbing I notice three large areas (palm size) where the paint fell out. Mike thinks it was a previous repair gone bad. We'll see.  Well be out on the hard over at Bridgehead. Mike and Ron (Islander 28) the week of the 1st and me over the weekend and maybe the following week. Come by if you like to sand!
