    As stated previously, if the boat is to be permanently immersed, it will need to be antifouled, any raw materials will soon be fouled if this is not done.

    Under the antifouling the paint system I would recommend is Resene Devoe, or Altex Devoe type of epoxy protective coatings. See their website for full details or PM me and I can supply specs for the job.

    It is total crap to think that you will not need to do this if the boat is to remain in the water for more than two weeks. (Florida waters)
