Bottom paint

I had the bottom of the boat sand-blasted this morning. It took an hour and fifteen minutes taking the paint off. The guy said the bottom looks good and I told him I will barrier coat in the spring.

This was a mental thing- I had to do it. I would like to go faster at a given RPM and this is the second step. What's the first? The K&N airfilters that will give you another 10 horse power. Hell, we blew the oil cooler going to AC this summer. That's how good they work.

Don't laugh. Remember the Thuddd had a post where by doing six or seven little things, he was going to get 8 knts more? Well, this is gonna' happen!!
