Why Bottom Painting is Essential

Boats that spend extended time in the water accumulate barnacles, algae, and other marine growth, which can slow you down and damage your hull. Bottom painting helps by:

Preventing Marine Growth: Anti-fouling paint reduces drag and buildup.
Improving Fuel Efficiency: A clean bottom means better mileage and performance.
Extending Hull Life: Protects fiberglass, aluminum and metal surfaces from water damage and corrosion.
Enhancing Resale Value: A well-maintained bottom signals proper boat care.

Our Boat Bottom Painting Process

Inspection & Preparation:

Assess hull condition for blisters, cracks, or previous coatings.
Pressure wash and remove old loose paint (if necessary) through pressure washing, sanding or media blasting.

Surface Priming:

Apply a high-quality marine primer to ensure strong paint adhesion.
Use epoxy barrier coats if needed for added hull protection.

Anti-Fouling Paint Application:

Apply multiple coats of premium anti-fouling paint designed for your boating environment (saltwater, freshwater, or brackish).
Choose from hard, ablative, or hybrid paints tailored to your needs.

Final Detailing & Launch Preparation:
