The boat has been painted previously...although seemingly not well. If once painted there is no turning back, I have to paint...right? A relatively new product call the "Genius Bucket" has caught my attention. Advertised as an all in one kit for above and below the water line. Reviews are quite favorable. Just need to figure out the easiest way to remove the layers of bottom paint...and fill the vertical spider/stress cracks. I do appreciate your insite and welcome any further thoughts.
