Re: bottom paint for houseboat
Welcome ! You'll have to touch up every season, recoat every 3-5 depending on the paint's condition. Make sure you use paint safe for aluminum hulls (i.e Trilux 33). NEVER use paint containing copper, or you'll have severe corrosion issues.castaway wrote:I'm going to be placing a older pontoon 35ft houseboat in saltwater for a weekend retreat.
