The Problem
The hull bottom showed failing antifouling, uneven coating, and surface condition that required proper removal and prep before repainting.
Without correct preparation, new bottom paint would not bond or perform reliably through the season.
The owner needed a clean, professional bottom job coordinated with haul-out timing and electric-boat service standards.
