Ahoy All, I'm currently stripping quite a few years of old bottom paint off the boat. While visiting my local boat store today I ran into a guy who is the local go fast guru for the Martin 242 fleet. As it happens he is redoing the bottom of his boat as well. He mentioned he would be using "Proline Superwhite epoxy" and no anti-fouling as most of the 242 fleet is dry sailed. Has anyone used or heard of this product. I've had only limited success in finding information on the web about this product. Any thoughts Mark M17 F/D #103 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
