See some anti fouling paint for 49 a gallon...some for 140 a gallon

any difference? any recommendations on bottom painting? bottom was
power washed last year and all loose paint is off. no flakes, and
what's there is solid. can i just paint over it?


He's right about some sanding to scuff the surface, and seeing you
store the boat on the hard int he off seasons, I myself would be
tempted to go with the less expensive. I'm no pro painter, but unless
you apply a couple [or more] coats, I can't see why a gallon can't do
a 30 ft'r.

Are you planning on spraying or brushing it on?


good recommendations, guys....thanks

probably brush it on. too cheap for a sprayer!
