NICE boat!
I had trouble with discs on a brand new Porter Cable 336 hook and loop, brand new sander and brand new Porter Cable sanding discs and that thing was throwing them right and left. The fuzz on the disc would just spin off long before the disc was done. The P C discs were hard to find around here so I got some Ace at one place and some Advantage some place else and have not had any trouble with any grit at any time since.
Try another brand of disc.
I found that the discs will last a lot longer if you hook up the vacuum, better for your health too.
I'm anxious to see your boat next year!
