[Rhodes22-list] Bottom Paint

[Bud]

Thanks everyone for your comments on bottom paint.  I like Bill's 
approach to not pressure wash off the
prior coat of bottom paint, and just slap on a new layer of ablative.  
After 16 months my bottom paint still
looks very good ... I need to get some paint inside the CB trunk where 
barnacles are causing my CB to stick.
I suspect the bottom paint has worn off in the CB (and/or the Marina did 
a poor job of applying paint inside the trunk.)
But while the boat is out of the water, I will slap paint on the rest of 
the bottom of the hull.
