IMRON MS - 600

[BIGDOG9857]

Hi All, finally after 25 years of drooling all over Albin's at Boat Shows, I am in Contract of a beautiful 2005 35 T/E Command Bridge w/ pilot house and dual stations & Yanmar 440 hp diesel. Her Hull appears to be Flag Blue and chalky, in need of fresh paint. Does anyone know if Awlgrip & Dupont's Imron MS -600 are similar ? Does one have more advantage over the other? Thanks for your response.

Hi Big Dog, and congratulations!

I'm assuming you have a 35 TE and NOT a command bridge, since the CB's don't have a lower station.

Can't help you on the paint but a can tell you that a proper wet-sanding by a detailer that knows what they're doing can probably bring that gel-coat back to life, for a lot less than a paint job! Our 2006 was very oxidized, and now looks great.

Post some pictures! Your fellow 35 owners (and the rest of the crew) would love to see her.

Thanks Doug for the reply. She is a 35 TE with the rare option of a Command Bridge w/ upper & lower stations. I will bring it to a Painter or Detailer & see what they say. Thanks, Jimmy.

Congratulations and welcome, Jimmy! Would love to see a photo of your boat since I'm not familiar with any TE with a command bridge. The Albin command bridge model is three or four steps up to the bridge. I wonder if your boat is a 35TE with a flybridge (8-10 treads up a ladder).

Fog Cutter II ?

That's affirmative, my mistake. She is a Flybridge and not a Command bridge. Sorry for the confusion, Jimmy.

No worries...just glad to have another of life's little mysteries solved. Enjoy your new baby.
