[Rhodes22-list] Bottom Paint Rubs Off

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Bruce,
I would have to agree with Mary Lou on this one. If your boat is kept out  
of the water on a lift, there is little need for anti fouling paint of any 
kind.  If it makes you feel better to have some on, go to one of the harder 
coatings.  My R22 is in fresh water all year and until I bought her, never 
had any bottom  paint on her. The previous owner would occasionally take a 
sponge and clean the  hull while swimming.

Hi  Bruce,
It's normal for ablative bottom paints - one kind of bottom paint  out 
of many and other types may slough a bit if you are scrubbing the  
bottom. In your situation, I wouldn't worry about bottom paint at all  
- you don't really need it.

Best,
Mary Lou
