See some anti fouling paint for 49 a gallon...some for 140 a gallon

any difference? any recommendations on bottom painting? bottom was
power washed last year and all loose paint is off. no flakes, and
what's there is solid. can i just paint over it?

Yes, just paint over it after a bit of sanding to provide a rough
surface for adhesion.
Cheap vs expensive paint? Depends on how much fouling you get. If
you are in Florida and do not haul except every 4 years, go for the
expensive stuff. If you haul every year, got for the cheap stuff.

He's right about some sanding to scuff the surface, and seeing you
store the boat on the hard int he off seasons, I myself would be
tempted to go with the less expensive. I'm no pro painter, but unless
you apply a couple [or more] coats, I can't see why a gallon can't do
a 30 ft'r.

Are you planning on spraying or brushing it on?

Rolling with a long pole attachment to get under the boat is a lot
easier.

Most decent bottom paint is thick and heavy. Crawling under the boat and
hand rolling is the only way to do it. IMHO

Now that you mention it, I wonder if bottom paint would work with an
entry level power roller... Hummmm. If so, it's the only way to paint.
Roller in one hand, brush in the other. I use the power roller basically
to lay the paint down, then "shape" it with the brush for interior and
exterior paint. Haven't used it for boat paint yet...

That's surprising, because from the looks of what is left of your paint
job on your rowboat, I would have thought you opened the can of paint
and threw the paint at the boat.

You have more excuses for the dilapidated state of your rowboat than
Duncan has varieties of doughnuts.

I'm sure the paint is still peeling, and the waterline/bottom paintline
looks as if it were painted by someone who was drunk.

For someone who claimed to be a boatbuilder, you sure turn out a crappy
product.

"Wetlander" is a product used on airboat bottoms that is tough, super slippery, and easy to apply with either a roller or a sprayer. And it doesn't need to be real thick to be effective. You can get it at www.airboatcoatings.com, or a reputable dealers in TX and FL. Best bottom paint you can buy, IMHO.
