I have that problem on my Ranger - the bottom was barrier coated white
and the bottom paint was blue - it can be VERY ugly after a summer or
two.

Lesson learned.
===============================================

When I was racing sailboats down the road from you in Stamford, I
always made the first coat of bottom paint a contrasting color,
usually blue. The top coats were white so the diver could better see
the dirt when cleaning the bottom. When that started to get thin, the
blue would begin to show through indicating that it was time for new
paint.

It all depends on your priorities.

LOL!!

Well, I didn't have much choice - I bought this as a demo boat and it
was already done.

Oh well.
