[Rhodes22-list] Bottom Paint Rubs Off

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Bruce,
It's normal for ablative bottom paints - one kind of bottom paint out 
of many and other types may slough a bit if you are scrubbing the 
bottom. In your situation, I wouldn't worry about bottom paint at all 
- you don't really need it.

Best,
