As my boat is being repowered, my mechanic is allowing me to perform work on my boat while it is on the hard. I decided to take advantage of this opportunity to paint the hull and give it a new coat of antifouling paint.You might recall I painted my flybridge with Rustoleum in this thread... The flybridge still looks great, despite the tons of use it has gotten over the past two years. I decided to employ the same technique to the hull. What I essentially did was dilute equal parts Rustoleum and mineral spirits, and give it six coats, with a light 800 grit sanding in between each coat.Here is a before pic:
