You can drop the tongue of your trailer down raising the stern. Block aft on both side and jack the tongue up and it will split the aft off the bunks. Jack under bow and your off.
Hi there, how has this brand of antifouling performed for you? And another question, do you think it reduced speed, since you mentioned that with your roller you had a bit of a rough surface finish? I am wondering if there was any marine growth, or if the paint washed away at some spots since you did not use a primer. I am currently removing all the bottom paint and I shopping around for an easy antifouling, I like that you didn't prime but just wondering how it performed. Thanks.
Good question. The paint I used is ablative antifowling paint and it slowly wears away over time. That’s what’s intended. The paint wears off onto the trailer skids and will start to wash off if pressure washed. I still have pretty good coverage to this day from the one paint job though. There is a hard bottom paint that is more permanent. Not sure which is better. Not sure about the speed impacts. It’s not a polished surface so I assume it’s not as good as stock but none of the bottom paints are polished so I don’t thinks there’s a way around it if your boat is mored in salt water.
If this is for painting the wood supports still touch the sides, yes? I think this unavoidable and then you have to go back and paint those spots after it's back on the trailer I assume. Is this what you did? Did it match very well?
Yeah, that’s it. It looks good and you can’t tell where those last spots were. The paint looked perfect when I launched the boat but salt water is rough on it so it’s meant to be re-applied every couple/few years or so.
