[QUOTE="SeaFaring, post: 445891, member: 22876"] Haha - I know what you mean. The person who had my boat before my father in law put some sort of red bottom paint on it. Why a trailer boat needed bottom paint, I’ll never know. In any event, given the age it’s probably either copper based, in which case it has no business on an aluminum boat, or else it’s tributyl tin, which is safe for aluminum but is incredibly toxic for fish and other marine life, not to mention that it’s toxic to people. Thinking about this, since the aluminum appears sound, it’s probably TBT, which militates in favor of taking it to a marina where they have the appropriate PPE to deal with toxic bottom paint.
