Re: M_Boats: BOTTOM FINISH

Hi George, Practical Sailor has an ongoing series of articles reviewing bottom paints. You might want to check their web site for some recommendations. The only thing I can say about fresh water is that it is more aggressive in terms of blisters so you want to make sure that the bottom is barrier coated.

I will be keeping my new (to me) M15 moored on a fresh water lake in NW Indiana. Should I be concerned with the bottom finish? In the past I have finished my boats with an ablative bottom paint finish was wondering if a harder thin film finish (vc17m) would do.
