Bottom paint

[nautibuoys]

I can do my GW 232 (9'4" wide) in about 3/4 gal. If yours is a 8' 6" hull, it should be a bit less.

freebie the best way to use ablative is to use a barrier coat then a coat of hard bottom paint followed by ablative. if you use a different color for the hard bottom paint the you can see where you need to touch up the next year. it's alot of work and a little expensive in the beginning to do it that way but end up being less in the long run as you only do touch-ups after the first time. also leaves you some protection if you wear through the ablative.

My boat has been painted for years, but that is a great idea!!

Looks like one gal will do it, Thanks!

Interlux ACT (ablative). Jamestown distributors has the best on the net paint prices. (IMHO).....

I got 4-5 seasons on the first application with only touch-ups.

Repainted totally last season and again I only a few touch ups.

Good luck.
