After Katrina, my yacht club has several empty slips and I'm thinking of keeping Sweet Dream in the water for a while. Before I do that I need to put some bottom paint on her. Bob was nice enough to recommend the barrier coat, how about a recommendation from someone on a (subtropical salt water) bottom paint that won't rub off if I occasionally stick her back on the trailer. Bottom growth is very agressive here. You could stick a bare 2x4 in the water and come back two weeks later to find alge and barnacles adhering to it. In 3 month, worms would have bored enough holes to make it look like Swiss Cheese. Also, should I coat the c;board also? Don Ludlow M!% # 620 Sweet Dream
