Bottom Painting
Fresh antifouling paint, applied right, so your hull stays clean and your boat performs the way it should
Schedule Bottom PaintingWhy Bottom Paint Matters
Growth on a hull is not just an appearance issue. It adds drag, slows your boat down, and forces your engine to work harder than it should to hit the same speeds.
A properly applied coat of antifouling paint keeps that growth from taking hold in the first place, protecting both your performance and your gelcoat underneath.
We match the paint type to how and where you use your boat, since fresh water, salt water, and how often you are on the water all change what makes sense.

Bottom Painting FAQ
Most boats need fresh bottom paint every one to two years, depending on the paint type, water conditions, and how much the boat is used.
Mostly it comes down to preference, though some paint types perform slightly differently by color. We can walk you through the options when you schedule.
In many cases yes, as long as the old paint is sound and compatible with the new coat. We will check during inspection and let you know if a full strip is needed.
Most bottom paint jobs take one to two days depending on hull size and condition, plus dry time before your boat goes back in the water.
