Hey Guys<br /><br />I was told that you should only paint the bottom every other year - on the off year you should just paint along the water line and touch up anywhere else if needed. Does this sound right????<br /><br />Thanks<br />Cool It!!!

Not unless you use a multi-year paint.All other bottom paints lose their antifouling qualities .Charlie

I was also told by boaters world that you should paint every other year if you do not see the underneath coat. The Interlux paint book says the same thing as Charlie?????????<br /><br />Cool It
