[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 382530, member: 13599"] Although on a totally different scale, the concept is the same. I did my 1648 this way a few years ago - - - it takes 3 people to get it set up SAFELY on blocks and jacks. Set up 2x4 braces on the sides, remove jacks from one side of the bottom, patch leaks, paint bottom. 24 hours later, put blocks and jacks back and do the other side. When I was 19 years old, I helped dry dock a US Navy Destroyer to paint the bottom - WHAT A MESS !!! LOL so to me, a measley 16 footer is ice cream. I agree with the two-part epoxy paint vs the other stuff. More user friendly (IMO) Remember - THREE guys to do this !!! try it by yourself and you could be calling two guys anyway to help you get if off the ground LOL LOL [/QUOTE]
