[Rhodes22-list] Bottom Paint

[Wickman, William E]

It sounds like most everyone uses an ablative paint.  Has anyone found
any problems with the paint coming off during launch and retrieval?  I
would think that an ablative paint would rub off on the bunks of the
trailer.

We use the Interlux ablative from West Marine at about $60 per gallon.
I
get two coats on the boat from one gallon and we've painted every other
year.  The boat sits in the fresh water lake all season except for an
occasional trip up north.  It always comes out in the fall looking great
except for a little paint we scuff off the bow landing on shore, which
we do
quite often.  I never pressure wash it or sand or anything beforehand.
I
use jack stands to get it as high off the trailer as I can which also
gives
you more room to work under the boat.
