220 on a big 7 inch foam pad will chew thru gellcoat pretty easy.....

it depends on what and how much sanding you want to do bud....start with 220 and go up to 600 grit

Well guys it was a great day out there and it was a big let down !!

Well me and mel went out [ the rest of the brats didnt want to go ] lol so out we went and this is what we got to .

DCFC0031.jpg


But that is as far as we got !!!@#$$##$@@@@# yep the tower of power let me down for the frist time ever !! Think she is telling me that its time to put me up for the winter !!

she was turning and turning and then nothing !! the solenoid on the starter died !! there was a heavy frost out last night , the front of the boat had a thick layer of frost but the back didnt , it was under a tree,. Well me and mel were hoping so we just paddled out to that marker and tried it there , till she had to go poddie , so we rowed in [ I was trying it all the time out there ] she ran to the can and i threw out the line , and guess what ?? a nice perch , so we just put the boat back on the trailer and started fishing on the dock !! mel caught the next one a little walleye,

lol we caught 8 or 9 just like that till mel got in to this 4 lbs , she was pulling him in and he was comming with his mouth wide open and she freaked !! hahaha DAD GET HIM !!!! hahhaah and petty much threw me the poll !! well yep you guessed it had him right up to the dock and he got away !! she was all geeked up after that !!! hahaha we sat there for the next 4 hours , I cought a 3 lbs bass about 16 of 17 inchs , she caught a 14 inch one and 4 perch about 10 inchs !!! we had a great day except ,,,, you know !!

so i am going to look on line and see where i can find a solenoid for her !!!! but i dont think i will beable to get the part till next week at the earlyiest !! so that might just be it !!! John
