If it gets cold where you are, the paint applies better, due to less
humidity, too.

I waiting for this winter to take it all off and restore the bottom.

The less paint for that operation, the better. :)

I don't plan on repainting it.

That was a serious error in judgment on my part.

What ever it takes to get it back to original condition.

I painted it because I had originally planned to keep in shallow water
at the marina for those occasional quick runs into Narragansett Bay,
but I decided that trailering for those kinds of trips was much
better.

I kept it painted, but gave up on it last year.
