I have studied a few posts that have brief mentions of bottom paint on trailered boats. But, not seen a post dedicated.
We have the 2004 240DA. It had bottom paint on when we bought it last year. It is starting to wear off. I'm personally fine with it going away. I would prefer a smooth shiny bottom to reduce drag in the water.
We trailer to whatever fresh water lake we decide and it is only on the water as long as we are in it. There are no intentions to put it in salt. Longest it has been in the water is 5 days. But, wouldn't think we would be in it longer than two weeks ever. We pressure wash the boat outside every time we come home.
Does anyone have a reason why I should repaint the bottom?
What is the best way to get rid of the rest of the paint that is there?
TIA
