« on: March 15, 2014, 08:44:36 AM »
I cannot for the life of me upload pics to a thread (size) so I put them in a gallery I believe the link below will bring you there.
question one is about bottom paint...
question two is the damage under hull looks like its caused by roller on trailer
I need advice on both please

Truckie,
First upload your pics into your gallery on the site here and then post links from your gallery into your posts.  It's real easy and here is a link that will walk you through it.  Should take you 5 minutes to figure it out.

Looks like it is worn down all the way into the glass. To fix it right you will need to lam some glass layers across the area and then fair. is the bottom paint ablative? If it is, that is the type you need to spot in.

Yea its def. Worn down to glass. ..  I m planning on sanding down that area and using west system and layer in glass etc.
It doesn't seem to be All the way through ,,and I don't think it has seen water this way ,so I want to fix it and sand entire bottom and paint before dropping in water for the season.

I'd use epoxy to repair that area since epoxy will prevent any water intrusion into the laminate.

Short answer is yes to an extent..

To be more helpful it would be good to see a picture of the roller setup at a distance enough to see which way the roller truck needs to go and how far it can move before other problems are encountered.  A bunk conversion might be appropriate but that is a bit more work then moving the roller trucks..
