Skools: Hey, did you get any big fishies during the Big Rock?On another note what kind of power are you going to put on the 25 sportsman. As you know the 240 coastal is pretty much the old 25 sportsman with live wells and washdowns added but its still the basic hull. I was looking at the wiring diagram today and i think its also the same. I feel for you guys with the bottom paint issue, what a mess...and it will never look the same regardless of how much you work on it ..Frank

We have a local boat dealer who is closing next month and I bought 4 nearly new poppits for 150.00 next I need to get the boat off the trailer and told us to help ourselfs to the 8x8 blocks so I grabbed 8 of them. The way he told us to block and poppit the boat I don't think it will be a big job. I also got the stripper today also.....see what happens.......

Hey Blu,

How did that paint stripper work for you? I used it on my V, but it didn't work too well. I wonder if I got a bad batch of the stuff???

over the weekend at the coast stopped at a boat yard found out the best way to remove is to sand blast off the paint with baking soda odd huh. i saw the results and looked great.
