I used the Interlux Micron Extra with the Epoxy barrier coat. Just a note this was my only haul out since the paint.In Matt19020's photos [above], it appears that his bow bunk merely cleaned the gunk off the surface of the paint - so it would be interesting to know what kind of paint it is.
Have question on waterline location for M bottom paint?
Matt, what Mnfgr and type of paint did you use?Matt19020 wrote:This is my first boat in the water. I did the bottom paint on it this year. I referred to my best friend who has owned a boat all his life and he told me to definitly go to the stripe. Otherwise he said that if you stop short of the stripe it will discolor and you will be unhappy. I took his advice and I am glad I did. I posted the pics of before and after.... this is in freshwater East coast full ballast. In water about 6 months before and after pressure washing. (You can see the scum line under the stripe)
FYI........I do believe I lost at least 1 mph with paint but I'm a cruiser not a racer.........I hope this helps.
Also I can't see any of the photos that have been posted from here at work for some reason, but will check to see them when I get home tonight.
PS. This is a late edit -- you answered the same time I was asking or just hit submit a second before I asked the question so I see your answer above. Can you give me some lottery numbers?
Kind Regards,
