: Hey Bill,

: I hadn't forgotten, this is the same leak from last season. Given I
: don't even know where the leak is, I wasn't implying any
: flimsiness in the method. I slide/lower this boat out a second
: story window and rest it on end, so the problem could well be
: there. It simply gets handled rougher out of the water than
: other boats.

: For the stripper, I'm copying your window wheeler, with a portage
: cart on the bow and rope on the stern so I can roll it out and
: lower it down without sliding it along a metal rail or resting
: it on end.

Well if you want, at some point, have a friend's boat in the shop now, you could bright it over and we could try the air pressure trick. Or you could do it at the shop you're renting? Only takes perhaps a half pound pressure and a spray soap solution.
