Getting close on having to buy some bottom paint and get the boat finally in the water. We live in Florida and will be using the boat in the Gulf. The boat will be kept in the warm salt water year round. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

We keep our boat in a canal and I use Pettit Trinidad SR. It ia a hard paint but I have not hauled out in four years. ( It is time and is on my schedule) The paint is expesive, but good. I do have a diver clean the bottom every 90 days or so

you might want to do a google search to find the best price. don't forget the running gear. you will want to use zinc coat on that.
