[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 289234, member: 6937"] Yes, my boat is also subjected to the same abuse, through commercial oyster harvesting, and anything else I can throw at it. And this is why I re-paint the bottom once a year. It's about 80 dollars a quart for Trilux 33, and it takes about 1.5 qts to do one of my 16 foot boats. So, I'm looking at about 250 dollars a year in paint, and then probably another 100 a year in zinc anodes. But, it's a lot cheaper than a new hull. Again, if the bottom paint and galvanic protection systems are properly maintained, an aluminum hull will last a long time in saltwater. But neglect either one, and the results ain't pretty. [/QUOTE]
