I had a feeling I should have looked into it more before buying off
ebay, the paint I got was "PETTIT MARINE PAINT. #1810 BLACK" general
purpose antifouling paint.

We are going to be using the boat in Lake Erie and allegheny resovoir
(sp?), and it's going to be trailered. will this paint work?


Jeff,

Contraty to what it may seem from my erlier post, I'm just a novice at this
too.
What I did find is:

The relevent Pettit web page seems to be:
http://www.pettitpaint.com/products2...d=1&SubCatid=1

It says about your paint:
A high performance economy antifouling paint which has been custom
formulated to provide outstanding bottom protection at a very affordable
price. Unepoxy Plus is a modified epoxy that dries to a hard finish able to
withstand season-long use and abuse. It has excellent adhesion to
fiberglass, wood and properly primed steel hulls and is compatible over most
previously applied bottom paints. Compared to other traditional modified
epoxy antifoulants, Unepoxy Plus has more copper for the dollar making it
the right choice for the value conscious boat owner. Unepoxy is available in
five popular colors.

Poke some more around that www.pettitPaint.com site and it will probably
tell you lots about that paint.

Good Luck,
Gary
