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...

That's surprising, because from the looks of what is left of your
paint job on your rowboat, I would have thought you opened the can of
paint and threw the paint at the boat.
A lame attack with no other purpose...
