Hi all,

I rebuilding a 1992 Bayliner Capri which is currently on stands. I have a bunch of questions which are all related to prep and paint, I'll try to be concise :)
  1. How do I find the water line for this boat and do I really need an above and below water line paint here? I'm not sure what are the considerations here other than drag
  2. What paint would you recommend for this boat (and why) and in turn, what kind of process do you suggest to follow in term of preparation for painting?
  3. Can I remove the gunwale off the boat while it's on blocks and prep + paint it separately from the hull? will the hull hold its structure on the blocks while the gunwale is off? (the boat has a floor)
  4. Same question as #2 for the gunwale - which prep and paint to use?
Regards,
Yarin
