Thanks for all the info everyone. I'm sure what we do will depend on the specific boat we end up buying. If it has a thick build-up of paint like many we've seen, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the condition of the paint (flaking or still OK). Sounds like if it's not flaking, it's ok for a bit, but should probably be stripped within a season or so (perhaps next available winter). If it is flaking, then we should just fix it.

Of course, if we're going to bother with soda-blasting, we're going to barrier coat too.

Thanks again for all the advice. Now back to the boat search!
