Waterline System Bottom Job
The only job I have not tackled with my teammate Jim Anderson is the bottom. Why do the bottom when you are in one of the best bottom shops in the country. So Waterline Systems took on the bottom.


First the bottom was stripped down to the outer skin since the original bond coat was peeling in a lot of spots. This also allowed us to view the outer skin/core and do a full inspection. Luckily my original survey was accurate and the laminate and core are in excellent condition.


Then 8 coats of Interprotect 2000 were applied. This is an epoxy barrier coat, which is a fantastic product, and highly recommended for any boat that lives in the water be it foam or balsa core. This was then faired.


Finally Baltaplate was sprayed and wet sanded/buffed to a shinny finish. This bottom will last for years with only a buffing each spring. It is very important to only use soft cloths while cleaning during the season. If you use white 3M pads it will scratch the finish.



Nice Job Waterline Systems.
