We offer all levels of bottom preparation and painting options for power boats and cruising sailboats. Choose from our preparation options based upon the condition of your bottom paint, and the paint you want from Pettit, Interlux, ZSpar, Blue Water Marine, Woolsey and all industry leading paint brands.
What separates our standard bottom jobs from a lot of other boatyard’s bottom jobs is we sand everyone of them, we don’t just powerwash the boat and then paint. We actually tent the boat off with heavy mil visquene all the away around it, from the hull to the ground. We go inside the tent with full respirator and protective gear on and we sand the bottom of the entire boat before we put the paint on. We also spot-prime if necessary where areas are down to bare gelcoat.
We do a lot of brand new boats and here we use a 6 coat application process. We start with a mold-release remover, we solvent bathe the whole boat, we cut the waterline in, we sand it to 80 grit production spec, we put 3 coats of Interlux InterProtect 2000 Epoxy Primer on and then 3 coats of whatever kind of bottom paint we are using.
