If your boat is going on and off a trailer make sure the
bottom paint is a hard one that can be use on a trailer boat

I had a feeling I should have looked into it more before
buying off
ebay, the paint I got was "PETTIT MARINE PAINT. #1810
BLACK" general
purpose antifouling paint.

We are going to be using the boat in Lake Erie and
allegheny resovoir
(sp?), and it's going to be trailered. will this paint
work?


Jeff,

Contraty to what it may seem from my erlier post, I'm just a
novice at this
too.
What I did find is:

The relevent Pettit web page seems to be:
http://www.pettitpaint.com/products2...d=1&SubCatid=1

It says about your paint:
A high performance economy antifouling paint which has been
custom
formulated to provide outstanding bottom protection at a
very affordable
price. Unepoxy Plus is a modified epoxy that dries to a hard
finish able to
withstand season-long use and abuse. It has excellent
adhesion to
fiberglass, wood and properly primed steel hulls and is
compatible over most
previously applied bottom paints. Compared to other
traditional modified
epoxy antifoulants, Unepoxy Plus has more copper for the
dollar making it
the right choice for the value conscious boat owner. Unepoxy
is available in
five popular colors.

Poke some more around that www.pettitPaint.com site and it
will probably
tell you lots about that paint.

Good Luck,
Gary
