We asked at =Torresen's and they recommended using Interlux Micron
anti-fouling paint =

quoted 2600.00 plus the cost of the paint to do it. .

Katy, Your marina is either trying to make money on you or they are just
stupid
when it comes to bottom paints. VC-17 is nothing more than a Vinyl
antifouling
paint the same as Baltoplate. You can paint over a vinyl but you can't apply
vinyl over any other paint. Do a little reading. The $2600 would be wasted.
