I was surprised by this. I hauled today for scheduled bottom job and anodes. I felt like I was a bit late as the last haul was 2 years and 8 months ago. The boat has not seen a diver even once in the period since then.
The bottom had looked decent in terms of growth from what I could see but really did not expect to see it in this good condition for this interval in salt. Historically, in the same marina, this has not been the case.
Last haul we went for it with two coats of Seahawk Sharkskin paint system and Propspeed.
First pic is stern view of bottom before the yard man picked up the pressure washer. The prop coating is as new and the thin layer of soft growth is really all there is other than a few barnacles where it was blocked at last haul.
Second pic is far view of the hull just starting to be washed.
Third is a closer view of the old paint after washed.
I elected to add a coat of the same paint but looks like I could have gone awhile pretty comfortably.
Anybody else using this paint? Same experience?
