you know who you are.
if you want me to take you out fishing this year? i suggest you'z get your asses down to admirals hill marina.this weekend :sled: and help me wax and bottom paint this friggin boat :hihi: :cheers:

not too bad for two years in the water. bottom paint held up fine.
has TONS of barnacles on the raw stailness trim tabs. and the thru hulls.
anyone have an idea how to paint stainless? and bronze?,,,,,,, that will last?

Not really worth it to paint em, I suppose you could just slap bottom paint on there but it'll come off/peel off over time.

A couple companies make "metals" bottom paint, but whether they work well or not is a big "?".

Easier just to clean em off with a knife while its in the water.
Grab the snorkle gear!

will let you know how the bottom paint holds up on metal !!!! Painted the trim tabs and a few other metals on the boat ,to many baenacles and mussells!!!

That boat is a beauty! Hopefully my littlle Grady will look more and more like that every year, next step, hardtop. :cheers:

I stopped by early this morning. The bottom looks great for that amount of time in the water. Did power washing get it that good?
I was out looking for our little friends but didn't see anything? Soon! I am trying to launch today I've been busting my ass for a month now but I got a lot done. Let me know when you find anything and I'll do the same. I hope your crew shows up today!

they powerwashed it for me. that was great because it saved me a days work. the powerwasher they have down there is unbelievable.
i couldn't believe the bottom paint looked so good seeing it's been in the water since spring of '03.
it's all done. buffed, waxed and bottom painted.i even took care of those nasty looking motors.

i didn't bother on the trim tabs. just scraped the barnacles off them and bottom painted them.

i'll call you if i see anything fishy :huh: the birds are there so the buffet is open :smokin:
gonna be sick for a week now workin outside in this friggin rain.
figgures the sun comes out when were all done.
