Time to sand and bottom paint
It's been 5 years since the last bottom paint, and the hull is starting to show under the paint from wear. I don't use an ablative paint, but rather a hi-copper paint anti-fouling. I still have 3/4 gallon of Petit Trinidad Black 75% cuprous oxide I bought 5 years ago. (I bought 3 gallons for $70 gal on clearance at West) I just throw it on the shaker every few months.
High amounts of cuprous oxide retain their anti-fouling properties even when you keep the boat on the trailer. They're not real smooth, though. For smooth, you need an ablative paint, and need to repaint every year or two. What kind of paint do use on your hull?
