Bottom Paint
Antifouling paint that keeps growth off the hull and your boat running clean
Antifouling That Protects The Hull
We sand and apply antifouling bottom paint to keep weed and slime from building up on boats kept in the water.
Growth on the bottom slows your boat, burns more fuel, and can hold moisture against the gelcoat. A fresh coat of antifouling paint each season keeps the hull cleaner, and a light sand first helps the new paint bond to the old.

Who Needs Bottom Paint
Any boat that spends the season in the water benefits from antifouling paint.
Slip Kept Boats
Boats that stay in the water all summer and collect growth.
Boats In Winter Storage
Boats already on land, ready to paint before spring launch.
Cruisers And Larger Hulls
Bigger bottoms where growth costs the most in speed and fuel.
Our Bottom Paint Process
Four steps from a hauled boat to a clean, freshly painted bottom.
Haul Out
Your boat comes out of the water or stays on land from winter storage.
Wash
We pressure wash the bottom to remove growth and loose paint.
Sand And Paint

Yes. Sanding and painting the drive is $210 plus materials.
Most boats kept in the water need fresh antifouling every season or two, depending on the paint and how much growth you see.
Spring, while the boat is still on land before launch, is the most common time. Fall works well for boats hauled for winter storage.
