So for those of you with fiberglass boats, when and how often do you do a
bottom coat? What are the signs of the boat needing one?




In freshwater with a boating season of 6 to 7 months the bottom on our boat
would be repainted or touched up every spring. If you still have a good
covering on most of the bottom you need only touch up the areas where the
paint is showing thin or worn away.

You will need to powerwash the bottom and let it dry before you paint it,
using a paint designed for your water type and compatible with what is on
the boat already.
