[Rhodes22-list] Thena - Trinidad boat bottom paint

[Mary Lou Troy]

Lee,
I do know our boat (ablative paint) is much cleaner if we use it 
frequently. That might also be true if we used a hard paint. We'll 
stick with the ablative because we do haul our boat every year and 
get at least 2 seasons from a paint job.
