Hello all,
My wife and I are new to CSR. What a great site.
We purchased a 270 Sundancer last summer that had ablative paint applied to the bottom a couple of years ago. We need to have the bottom repainted and the shop we went to suggested we take it down to the gelcoat and replace it with hard paint and no barrier coat since we're going to put it on a lift when we get it back. It's a freshwater boat and we'll be operating in freshwater.
My question is this: If we're going to put the boat on a lift, does the bottom need a barrier coat or epoxy applied first?
Thanks
