Keeping an aluminum boat in a wet slip

[shanemc]

I’ve got a StarCraft fish master that I’m considering docking for the season in freshwater. It still has factory paint on the bottom, not bottom paint. I do not want to strip the bottom down to bare metal and barrier coat, then bottom paint. I think a light sanding should enough to get a non copper bottom paint to stick.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Use a good coat of wax and pull once or twice a month and clean it off. If you insist on coating the bottom, read the instructions on the product you buy. Many options today for aluminum hulls.
