Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Antifoul paint for trailered boat

I just completed painting my hull with quantum99 paints.

I barrier coated / primed the whole hull.

I wet sanded the areas of the hull that would be visible when the boat is in the water to 320 grit and topcoated that area with 3 coats

I sanded the barrier coated hull bottom to 150 grit, i.e. the area not visible when the boat is in the water, and topcoated with only 1 coat.

I am unsure if I will anti-foul in the future because the boat looks so good i'd hate to cover it up. If so, the 150 grit will be sufficient to adhere the antifoul.

I am still customizing the boat so anti-foul decisions are down the road.
