[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 429527, member: 13599"] Tyler - I was reading a bit last night about bottom paints. in fresh water - it is suggested not to use any kind of anti-fouling paint. on the other side of the fence, when bottom paint is used, it promotes algae and other green junk to grow on the bottom. so - if it has had a bare bottom hull all these years, and it is fine, I would suggest your comments. Power wash, scrub, sand, clean, etc. and leave it be. No wax or clear coat is recommended. as for repainting the already painted areas, there are many, many threads on how to repaint a boat. Again, depends on your skillset and time. power wash - scrub - clean - sand - remove loose and scaling paint, prime and paint. good luck ! [/QUOTE]
