Bottom Paint

[MTC]

I think it will turn. I would have gone black. It looks good and resist growth better than any other color. Ask anybody who powerwashes bottoms which color looks the best in the fall.

If I had a boat without bottom paint I would wax than haul and powerwash it every other week...

Thats the problem. I just sold my Twin Vee Baycat and am purchasing a 22ft Twin Vee leftover. It already has black bottom paint on it. I don't ever slip my boat. I travel where the fish are. Personally I hate the look of bottom paint but I'm stuck now. The deal was so good I could'nt pass it up. Leftover 22ft TV with twin 115 zukes (6 year warranty)70hrs on them. Never registred for 25K . For that kind of savings I have to learn to love the bottom paint. I just thought I might put that white over the black since I trailer. It looks unreal on your boat!

I don't think that's MTC's boat. I think what he is trying to say is he just painted a customer's boat with the white bottom paint; he would use black on his own boat.

The boat that I painted White was a customers boat. It was Black and it took 2 coats. My boat is Green and qoing Black. If the previous owner did not Barrier coat it I would of stripped it, wet sanded it, buffed it with rubbing compound and waxed it. Your boat has a dealer paint job they may not of even sanded it. Most dealers go the easy route and put sanding primer on in place of sanding the hull. It may strip off and buff out ok.
