Author	Topic:   Bottom paint, repaint/replace
RioRaft	posted 03-08-2004 01:10 PM ET (US)      Is there a rule of thumb as to when you should just re-coat the bottom versus remove, reprime, repaint the bottom. My 2003 Whaler spends April to December in the salt water in New Jersey, it's only a year old so I don't think I need to have anything but repainting done, however the local dealer has a question on the spring tuneup list that asks what I want done. How will I know when it's time to do more than repaint? Any help? Thanks Rio
