Re: under the boat

I know of no reason anyone should use a bottom paint on a boat that lives on a trailer....unless you park boat and trailer in the water....;)

Re: under the boat

the boat was painted it was in slip but it looks terrible now that the bottom paint is starting to wear off and i figured if i was gonna paint it i might as well use a slick paint
