Re: Bottom Paint. I quit. Really

I'm new to this site and love it. Alot of good info. I do have a question about bottom painting. I have a 21' 1985 Sea Ray and I am thinking about painting the bottom. It stays in the water at the lake from April through the middle of October. I usuelly have to get it acid washed every year. I know it stays cleaner, but are there other benefits? Also, if I do paint the bottom, the general consensus is to use Interlux paint. Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks

My recommendation is to start your own thread as this one is old. You might have better luck that way.
