However, I have a buddy who wants to leave his boat in the water all the time and will be painting his bottom for the first time. Is there any primer that need be applied (or other prepping steps for that matter), or do you just start with the nonfouling bottom paint??? thanks again; Todd

I put the boat in the water for a day or so to find the exact waterline. If the surface is a little rough up he should have no problem getting the new paint to adhere. I've never used any sort of primer and have never had a problem Tom 1979 Sport 15'
