I have a friend who just bought an Almond 31 198?.
The bottom is very rough. Years of flaking off bottom paint.
It will cost him about 1,200 to soda blast the bottom and clean it up.
The full quote for complete bottom job soda, barrier coat and bottom paint is about 5,000.
The boat is worth probably 5 to 10 at best.
The obvious thing to do would be to scrape the loose stuff off and slap another coat of paint on it and forget it.
Would their be any advantage to doing the soda job and paint probable for under 2,000 or would that be a waste of money.
