Thanks! I remember when the Navy used bottom paint that contained all sorts of horrible toxic stuff! But of course our radical environmentalists made that and DDT impossible.

In the CG we used "Red Lead" and "Blue death", I am sure it was harmless stuff...

BTW, when I has someone paint the bottom of the V20 I had, he left it on the trailer (roller trailer) and used a paint roller with an extension. After it was dry, he let the boat roll down a few feet and painted the area's missed by the rollers.
