Barrier Coat & Bottom Paint
As I will be leaving my boat in the water more than on the trailer this summer in CT, I have a few questions: Should I apply the barrier coat even though I did not see any blisters after leaving the boat in the water 45 consecutive days last year. I didn't even have bottom paint on and recieved minimal fouling. I plan on bottom painting the boat this year anyway and need to know if it is safe to paint 4" up on the hull over the Awl Grip with the ablative in order to cover the water line. The boat is waiting for weakfish in Hampton Bays, NY until then!

Re: Barrier Coat & Bottom Paint
I do not see where there would be a problem with going over awl grip. If the bottom has never been painted be sure to use the sandless primer first or the bottom paint will not stick. As for barrier coating when we sand a bottom down to gel coat we do barrier coat them. Will it help I dont know. From what you read it does. I did it to my boat. It would not be a bad idea to do it since there is no paint on it now. That would be better then 5 years from now saying I should of.
