Re: M_Boats: Help: bottom paint, Interlux 2000 or none?

Howard and Bill, The one thing I am most afraid of is not fresh water slime, but gelcoat blisters. Indeed the sailing season here is May-mid October, so 5.5 months. Is the issue with gelcoat blisters mostly from saltwater? Just a dinghy with a set of oars probably won't do: the mooring is about 800 feet away from the ramp where I can get in the water in a public spot, and I don't want to bother my friend by going through his back yard every time I want to go sailing. Or would it? I was thinking perhaps a canoe instead, so I could also enjoy it by itself. Thanks, Andrei.
