Re: Reclearing a boat.
I hope you haven't paid for the job yet because I would have along time ago got the boat the hell out of there.I sounds like they don't know what they are doing.Where is this being done at so no one else can have these problems.

If the boat spends any extended period of time in the water, you are just chasing your tail trying to keep clear on below the waterline. This is a very common problem for boats kept in the water.

Re: Reclearing a boat.
Are you able to keep the boat from "soaking" for extended periods? the only time I have had any luck with good adhesion is to use single-stage paints below the water line. If you could incorporate this into the graphics, you might have less problems.

The problem really isn't below the waterline its in the prep work that wasn't done before it was cleared the 3,4 time.This is the last time it will be going to the shop that has had the boat just aslong as i have.We'll see friday of these week.Boat is on a lift and doesn't stay in the water longer than a 3 day weekend.

Re: Reclearing a boat.
Well got the boat back last night and the clear is already coming off within 10 minutes of getting home.It was cleared upto the decals on the back of the boat so if you look at it you can tell where it was taped around the letters.There are air bubbles under the clear.the cabin had 2 gallons of water in it and the intereior is soaking wet.the engines/whipples look like i left the boat on a dirt road with the engine hatch off it.i had 2 of the 4 headers off for Tyler to do some work on the so i put white tape over the holes well when i looked late last night the tape was off the heads.WHY they wouldn't be in there way.I will have a pic gallery linked on here of the 57 pic i had taken last night as soon as i can.I think its time to bring in the lawyers.Game on.I have new decals that i'm gonna put on the sides and the top of the boat and they will say this.PERFORMANCE AUTOCRAFTERS GAVE ME THESE ****TY PAINT JOB FOR THE 5TH TIME.540-854-6200.
