antifouling boat bottom paint
 
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for antifouling boat
bottom paint. We are getting an old small Wahoo and we live on the
coast in Georgia. It will stay in the water most of the time but not
all the time. I have been researching this and there are so many
different kinds, sone have 45% copper and some 67. This is our first
boat so we dont know much about this but we are so exited!

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I stumbled across this stuff the other day in discussions with my
nephew about the bottom paint on my Ranger. His good friend too a job
to strip and repaint two college sailing program boats - Yale and
Brown Universities. He found that the Interlux products were taking
too much time to do properly.

He tried this stuff on spec and now swears by it. Went from one week
to one day on the strip cycle and four days to two days on the
painting.

In fact, he's doing a tug this week with it and has grabbed several
contracts out from under some larger boat yards on bigger recreational
boats. I'm getting some this weekend to try on the Ranger.

Look the data over - it appears to be good stuff.

Keep this up and you'll be labeled a liberal commie pinko tree hugger
in no time....


Not likely.

Perhaps a social and economic conservative tree hugger would be more
suitable. :?)
