Mooron, I have no need to haul my vessel every year, My zincs are in
almost pristine condition all 7 of them. I only need to haul every 3
yrs or so to put a new coat of antifoulant. The epoxy barrier coat will
last 20 yrs if not damaged while removing old antifoulant. Here we dive
to brush away the scum dont need a wet suit either. Waxin boats is
for wussies. My paint shines like new for 3 years and never need
waxing. Here i can sail for 45 min and be dragging a shrimp net that
will fill with shrimp, flounders, crabs, and the occasional redfish all
most excellent for eating. I can land on a number of oyster reefs and
rake up 2-3 sack within an hour...a perfect cold weather adventure. 10
mile offshore we have crystal clear blue water with excellent reefs for
catching Ling, Red Snapper, Groupers, Tuna, Kings, Dolphins, Shark ect
ect......And my equipment is kept in excellent condition at all times
because it's used all the time. While your dryrotts as your hull hoggs
in a cradle.
