Subject: Santana bottom work

Well I'm just a DIYer, not a boatyard, but I just did this on my '67 tuna, hull #44, in the backyard. It sucks. I went to the trouble of removing the keel entirely and taking off the fairing that was covering rusty metal. Not fun, but necessary on my budget and being in AZ I couldn't find anyone local to do it. I scrapped, stripped, and sanded the paint back to the gelcoat, but now it looks pretty good. I used Steve Seals replacements for the keelbolts and was very happy with them. Good luck, if you decide to tackle it on your own and have any questions let me know...
