Thanks. I got some epoxy primer and some filler from West Marine last night. I hope to at least get that part done this weekend. I'm a dedicated trailer sailor, so my boat sees the water only when I'm sailing or it's raining. We have a PPG distributor here in town, but I wonder about the toughness of the automotive paint vs. boat paint. Also, can I paint epoxy or some kind of clear coat over the Deltron to keep it in a bit better condition? On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:26 PM, <treed@communitycareinc.com> wrote:
Joe....Have you had a sail cover made for Seafrog yet? If you have one I was wondering what measurements you used to have it made. I just wanted to make sure I am getting the right measurements for a good fit...T

I used Micron Extra. I keep Seafrog in saltwater 10 months straight per year. I pull her out after 5 months. Looked great. I agree with Bones. You can recoat with the same bottom paint as long as it is the same product. I like the ablative paint which flakes off during the time the boat is in the water thus shedding the nasties. I don't know if you use ablative paints in fresh water. But there are a gazillion sites out there with great advice.

Hi John,
I have Micron CSC on the M17, and Awlgrip All-star on the M23.
Both seem to be fabulous, although far from inexpensive.
Both boats are trailered and sailed in fresh water.
I have been led to believe that unless you remove all the previous bottom paint, recoating should be done with the same product.
For what it is worth.
Later,
Bones
