Re: Bottom Painting
Hmmmm... guess I will have to find out if the PO of my boat remembers what he painted it with. I was thinking that I'd just need to lightly sand and apply bottom paint, but it is apparently not that simple. I tried to keep my Lund down at BPK without bottom paint last winter, even with record cold it was amazing (to a northerner like me) how fast it grew.
Anyone have recomendations for an ablative style paint (never again want to spend days scraping off multiple layers of the "hard stuff") that will work well in the Keys? It isn't so critical up here, I could get away with just painting the top 12" around the Sisu and leave it in for a year at a time, that sure won't work down there! Bruce

Re: Bottom Painting
Go to West Marine and pick up a couple of free catalogs on Interlux paints. Everything you need to know for prep and application. I used their ablative bottom paint on unpainted fiberglass and it seemed to work well, but I do not have a lot of hours in the water as of yet. I know a lot of people use a barrier coat epoxy system and then paint.
