This spring I saw a number of contractors in Craigslist for Northern New Jersey that would come to your boat, tent it and do the job. All of the quoted $5.00 to $9.00 a foot. But their ads don't say if that's a lineal foot or a square foot. So a 20' boat would be around $180 Lineal and around $900 Square.

Just remember that soda blasting may reveal blisters in your hull that the paint kept hidden. So chances are you'll have to repaint.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
