You weren't painting the bottom before! I've found that changing salinity is
good but that anything in any water need to be protected.

Sometime changing salinity is good - I spent 20 months in the Delaware and
went to NYC via the Atlantic and seems that all the bio-stuff didn't like
the change. Ultimately, if you stay anywhere you need protection - gotta
fight that evolution stuff!

I am moving my boat from sal****er to the Great Lakes. Is there anything
in
particular I have to do differently? Also, if I plan on keeping it in a
slip, should I paint the bottom?

Thanks

Yes, I was painting before. I was just wondering about taking a boat that
spent its life in sal****er and what effects, if any would happen, running
it in Lake Erie. Its my first boat. Its not really big, I mostly kept it
in the bay, fishing for stripers. I have heard a lot about the choppier
waves in the Great Lakes.

Thanks for all of the advice.

Lake Erie is THE most unpredictable of the great lakes. It is so
shallow, that a storm can blow up behind you, and overtake you BEFORE
you can out-run it!! Keep that radio ON.
