Funny you should make this comment not knowing what kind of paint
the man is using. If he is using a quality ablative as long as he has
paint film it's working.



I'm definitely not a paint expert. And I'm blonde but I'm not stupid. And I'm not gullible. But I talk to people who are paint
experts. Or people who have lots of paint experience at least. You've got to have fresh paint in hot tropical water or stuff will
grow. No paint ever invented lasts five years in hot tropical water. Two years is about all you can expect. That's a fact.
Anybody claiming his bottom paint lasts five years is ignorant. Either that or he's blind.
