Need advice with bottom protection--Armored Hull???
My new 30 footer will be here in about 6 weeks and I need to make a decision on how to best protect my hull. She's be staying in the ocean full time, too heavy for me to trailer. I really don't want to paint the bottom, so what do I do??? I was going to bite the bullet and buy a HyroHoist system, but none of the Marina's in Channel Islands Harbor allow them. I recently looked at Armord Hull, but don't know anyone that's has first hand experience with their system.
Any other idea's or solutions you can think of??? I'm looking for the collective advice of this board to make the decision. Thanks guys |
Do a search here on "airdock". Going to try and run this past my marina this spring. No permanant moorings, no hydraulic fluid....just an airbag. Kinda hard for anyone to make an argument against it. Take a look at the website.

There are a couple of top guns in mission bay that use armor hulls. Give me a call 619-203-1692 I can answer some of your questions. Eddie

Why would a marina not let someone use a lift? They are everywhere in TX.

Dockmasters that have had bad experencies with lifts in the past have simply made rules that don't allow the use of boatlifts. |

Find a way to get her out of the water! I've maintained a 360 since it was new and the bottom is terrible. The customer won't paint or put a lift in, so the boat has suffered. I have a crew clean the boat every week April-November and the water line has to be done every week year round.
My other Cobalts that are on lifts look perfect! May I also recommend a coat of Leverage Polish before you put her in the water. The Cobalts I've maintained since new still look new. Keep it clean weekly with water and a towel, put a cover on if you're going to be exposed to the sun 24/7 and stay away from harsh chemicals. I've noticed some Cobalts tend to oxidize rapidly due to the compounds they use before delivery. Let me know if you need anything. Donnie |
Thanks Donnie
