Bottom Soda Blasting

[Uhehner]

I just had the bottom of my 36 Tiara SODA blasted clean. They took off 24 years of bottom paint and barnacles right down to the gelcoat. The bottom and shafts and props now look new. No sign of a blister and this boat has been afloat its entire life except for bottom paint haulouts. Says something good about Tiara gelcoat. I had heard horror stories about SAND blasting eating through the gelcoat into the glass followed by a massive hole filling job. After the SODA blast this boat needed nothing. The yard then put on a barrier coat and bottom paint and the hull looks new again. About $50 per foot. Just want you to know. Capt. George
