george nagy	posted 08-05-2002 02:15 PM ET (US)         I'm repainting the bottom AGAIN and I'm thinking of adding a red boot stripe to compliment the black paint. Where can I get red striping that lasts as long as the black striping that came on the boat?

If you buy the closeout stuff that is laying around, it won't last. The problem I have on Whalers is the bow. I can NEVER get anything to stick in the corners on the trihulls, therefore I hate to tape just the sides and transom. Also sometimes with bottom paint you have to cover the paint to keep the stripe straight and it does not like to stick to bottom paint...nothing does, hence the reason....nevermind:)
