Thinking of painting the bottom...

[Road King Cole]

Looks like the bottom of my boat hasn't been painted in 10 years or so as the previous owner kept it on a trailer and didn't care how it looked. I will also be keeping it on a trailer and have no future intentions of keeping it moored or on a slip. The old paint was probably an ablative as the paint below the waterline is pretty thin in most spots to no paint at all in others.

The boat is on a roller trailer. I do not have boat jacks or a hoist.

The paint was blue, I would like to have the no paint look, but I am afraid that it would need to be sandblasted or I might die sanding it all that well to get it white. (I'm 52, kinda big and sometimes have arthritic flare ups...besides the toxic dust). I was also planning a week off to work on the boat, but the wife had a “better idea”. So it would be weeknights and weekends.

I am thinking of using Pettit Vivid bright, probably would need to stick with blue.

Options would be

A) Support the rear, pull the trailer out just enough to sand\paint the area under the rollers. Then do the front back on the trailer.
B) Jack up one side of the boat and sand\paint one side at a time. I am not sure if this is applicable on a roller trailer.
C) Pay someone to do it.
D) Live with it for now and just enjoy the boat.

Looking forward to comments and advice!

thanks!
