Re: Bottom Paint
Obart,
Where abouts are you located? I am in Manassas. Kept my boat at Ft. Belvoir the last 8 months but moving the boat to Mayo, MD to sail the Chesapeake this season.
I have no info to solve your issue on paint...sorry.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Jim

Re: Bottom Paint
Not that hard to do yourself and you'll save lots of cash. Be careful that it is done correctly. Especially the epoxy barrier coat. Some yards will take short cuts and put on too few coats or do not prepare the hull well. If not done correctly, you'll get blisters which could lead to major damage. It will cost you big $$ to get a bad job fixed. This is not an area where you should take short cuts.
