Author	Topic:   Powerboat Reports article on boat paint
Kelly	posted 04-04-2002 09:57 PM ET (US)         I thought it might be of interest to the forum that the February,2002 issue of Powerboat Reports includes an article on boat paints. The subject boat is a 35 year old 13' Boston Whaler. It appears that there will be follow up articles on how the different paints perform. I thought it was interesting, the article stated "Finally, using a photographic light meter and a well-focused beam of light, the gloss of each surface was measured..." Sounds like a fade meter to me. Kelly
