FWIW -
We applied a 'strip' of 1 inch RED 'Automotive Trim Tape' as a 'Boot Top' to
the hull of our WWP-19. So far it has lasted about 5 years; in the water,
annual pressure washes, and winters on the trailer.

Several minor 'chips & tears' on the edges, but TIGHT throughout. I would
say use 4 or 5 slightly overlapping 'wraps' to get the taller Boot Top. They
should hold, I did the same thing in BLUE to a white inflatable buoy for my
required mooring marker. In addition, sometimes a 'theoretical' line doesn't
work - visually. This way, you can apply the Boot Top incrementally - until
it 'looks right' to YOU.

Regards & Good Luck,

PS: give it a bit of upward 'sweep' at the bow & stern, rather than
geometrically straight along the 'line'. Just works better to the eye . . .
at least for sailboats.

What kind of paint or tape does one use to apply the waterline? I've used
the Interlux thus far and want to add a 4"-6" water line. Suggestions?

Thanks...
