Are you planning on spraying or brushing it on?

good recommendations, guys....thanks

probably brush it on. too cheap for a sprayer!

Rolling with a long pole attachment to get under the boat is a lot
easier.

Two words, "power roller"... That's all I am gonna' say cause I have
been painting for decades and have used everything... In fact, I have
everything

Most decent bottom paint is thick and heavy. Crawling under the boat and
hand rolling is the only way to do it. IMHO

Now that you mention it, I wonder if bottom paint would work with an
entry level power roller... Hummmm. If so, it's the only way to paint.
Roller in one hand, brush in the other. I use the power roller basically
to lay the paint down, then "shape" it with the brush for interior and
exterior paint. Haven't used it for boat paint yet...
