Has anyone done a full bottom paint removal and gelcoat polish? If so, i would like to see pics of it. My goal is take her bottom off, and either stay bare, or use a smooth bottom epoxy. Anybody use the epoxy? Maybe that should be a new topic?

DT,
Here is a link to my post on the bottom job I did after buying the boat.  viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5662&hilit=+bottom+paint
Interlux VC Performance Epoxy is the paint, awesome stuff.  Slick and hard, I didn't want to go the re-gelcoat route.  Sand off the old, roll and tip the new, or we just wound up rolling, it has a very slight texture, only noticeable up very close but performance is just like gelcoat.  They also make one called VC performance "Off-shore" if you need anti-fouling properties in the paint, blow boaters use it for racing boats because of the teflon in it and the ability to burnish it to a super slick finish but still keeps growth off.
