Bottom antifouling is nearly complete


The boat now has two coats of Fiberglass Bottomkote Act paint and will get one more. I used this paint because I previously had a Bottomkote paint on the boat, this one is effective in salt water and is multi-seasonal, and it is an ablative paint which means "it washes away with use like a bar of soap constantly exposing fresh and effective biocide and will provide excellent antifouling protection throughout the boating season." Also, because it washes away, the paint does not buildup over time. I'm hoping to get two seasons out of it without taking the boat out of the water, though I will do some swimming/diving to check it out.
