I have to ask? Why are you bottom painting your boat? If you are going to leave it in salt water over the season it makes sense, but if it's going to sit on a trailer or sit in fresh water there's really no reason to bottom paint it, and when you go to sell her later on unpainted hulls are more in demand.
