    S Jersey owners tournament

    Looking to put something together offshore, inshore doesn't matter. We can throw in a couple of bucks each and payout to the top three. More of a fun day with bragging rights with people that have a common interest. Fishing, food, and maybe a few cocktails.

    Bottom blasted finally

    Didn't watch but he soda blasted it. I have access to a blaster also and was talked out of doing it myself. I was told it's easy to go too deep. Kinda wish I did do it.

    Bottom blasted finally

    Agree, very happy I had it done. All the glass work is done, waiting for a couple of nice days to do the epoxy coats and bottom paint. Wife and kids are going to swim a little now when we hit the island no more beaching after all this work. Lol

    Still didn't find out yet, me and the Marina owner have been bartering for a couple of years that's how I got the boat. I do directional drilling and put water and electric around the property.

    Bottom blasted finally

    After trying to get the blaster there for 3 months it got done yesterday. Got to say I was expecting worse it's a 1989 228 that had unteen coats of paint on it. One spot needs glass work where it looks like someone did a quick patch job but the rest could probably be smoothed out with barrier...

    Bought a 1987 226 Seafarer!

    Good luck with it. I picked up a 89 228 in the beginning of last summer and have been improving it ever since. Have it setup for hard fishing and family fun. Waiting for the bottom to be blasted, should be interesting to see what it looks like after all the years of use. I've been all through...
