The setup

The Goose needs a lot of work on the outside paint job. After 5 years in the water the green and the white paint is blistering in spots. First I will have to cut out the blisters and then grind these areas back to the steal hull. Then epoxy the ground out areas and re-fair the hull. Before that though, I have to set up scaffolding around the entire boat so, I am using every spare saw horse and walking board at Deaton Marine. I just hope that they don’t need any of their boards and scaffolding for the next week or so and that the weather cooperates.

After the scaffolding is set up I take a marker and mark the areas that are loose on the hull.

Next is grinding.
