Thanks for all the advice. The bottom has whatever was originally on
it, and is in mint condition. I had one of the best boat guys on Long
Island check it out before I bought, and he gave me the green light. I
was only asking about the sand since I hate to sand such a beautiful
bottom unnecessarily, but I understand what you mean about other paint
jobs that require sanding first. I was told it's a 3 layer process,
one for primer, and 2 for the paint. If anyone knows a good, and
affordable place on Long Island, I'd love to hear about it.
As for trailering it, I don't have the space to keep it out of the
water, and I just got a slip, so I kinda have to keep it in the water.
It's a 94, my first boat, so I don't expect to get much in return when
I upgrade in a few years anyway.
