Seems like we already did this!!?

Time to do the starboard side.  Fortunately, by this time Peter has become an expert at prepping the QuickFare,  filling the holes, and then skimming it all with a wide putty knife to remove the excess filler.  It works very well, and significantly reduces the amount of sanding that must be done.  Of course we have to do it several times to get all of the holes filled, as the epoxy filler shrinks a bit as it hardens.
In this picture we hadn't yet started doing grinding, sanding or filling this starboard side.  You can see from the photo that we had to remove a layer of Interlux 2000 that the previous owner had put on the boat at some point.  As you can see it was a lot of work.  Did I mention that great long boards that Peter made? We also continued using that extremely heavy grit sand paper (36 grit) to quickly knock down the high spots. Just more of the same...
