: did the exact same thing today on King #2. Just remember to keep it moving. I
: hold the belt sander perpendicular to the sheer,and sweep it left to right
: with about 12" sweeps ,removes wood fast this way and leaves alot of
: scratch but the r.o.s. with 80 and 120 will clean it up great.
And if it comes out looking anything like King #1 it'll be beautiful. If I ever get around to building another strip boat, (the inner idiot keeps whispering "you NEED a surf kayak") I plan on getting one of those in line sanders they use in body shops. but since I build outside it'll probably be a while.
