Best advice has already been given, and that is to visit some boatyards
and ask questions. Bottom paint is not cheap.
Unless you're comparing it to the labor cost, then it's pretty
reasonable.
That's exactly right. There are very few boat yards that will allow
you to do your own bottom painting these days because of environmental
regs. When the yard is doing the work, paint is the cheapest part of
the job.
And certainly not worth scrimping on, considering the labor cost and
hassle of getting a larger vessel out and back in the water.
Buy the best damned paint money will buy!
