Looks like Cuda's boat....bimini top and sitting on a trailer!! :eek: Sorry Joe! I'm getting a little cabin fever on this miserable day off. :mad:

You have to realize the black BP was applied for a reason.

1) Hull would not come clean because it sat in crap for so long.

2. It was all scratched or all boggered up with obvious repairs.

3. Blisters. BP covers blisters really well.(for a short period of time).

4. It was bottom painted and it looked like crap to begin with.

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

EC39, I can understand all of those reasons as being valid points. I've also been around marinas that will not allow shore stations and don't offer rack storage. The alternative is to apply bottom paint to avoid the algae growth and permanent discoloration that water can cause.
I've seen a lot of Cary 50 boats with white or shark grey bottom paint applied. It doesn't look the greatest but it sure beats having grass growing on the hull sides.

Crazy, you're just the eternal optimist :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

I bet it was legit. You can always sand a spot, it looks like it is ready for another coat anyway.

UHG The cockpit colors kill me :eek:

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

I'm with Capo...I think I hate the "Palm Beach" colors more than bottom paint. I didn't even like them when they were new.

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Hey, you ever tried to mow that grass that grows on hull sides???? You gotta have a special mower to shave it close enough.
After laying under my last cruiser, the 31 Sea Ray, for three weeks with a can of waterproof filler and an air sanding board I can tell you that bottom paint doesn't prevent blisters. I fixed about ten thousand (I'm not kidding either) of them after sandblasting the bottom and leaving it exposed in dry storage for over a year.
If you're lucky the guy that owns that Formula did not use a barreir coat before applying the bottom paint. At least that way you can strip the bottom paint and polish the hull.

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Having left my 382 in the water for 10 days without any bottom paint (once), I can tell you that some sort of anti-fouling paint is absolutely necessary if you leave your boat anywhere other than dry land. It took us 3 hours to get all the gook off....

Chuck, Didn't Diane do that? :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

looks clean otherwise .....you seen it ?

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

The colors... my 4 year old daughter calls any boat with that color scheme a Barbie boat ... I swear I never told her to say that , I almost fell off the dock the first time she said it. :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

EZ guys .......... :rolleyes:

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Offthefront--Ive always loved your boat man!! So clean and if I can use this word for a boat "sexy"!!!

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Ought to see the Polished Valve covers !!!! in tha boat !!

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

No disrespect offthefront...just one of those "out of the mouths of babes things"...
My yellow and black thing has been accused of being a little over the top, so I've got no room to talk :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Not a Prob ...understand its dated .. but I get ALOT of compliments ..and lookers ...even tied up next to newer boats .. :drink:

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Offthefront,

Don't pay attention to them. They say that "time of the month" comes for the whole group at one time. :eek:

Besides, wait 10 years, and see what people say about their paint jobs. :D

Michael :drink:

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Michael.... My paint scheme is 18 years old :eek: I like it so much I had it repainted to stock.....now thats hard core old school!

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

offthefront, no disrespect intented. And since I'm currently boatless, I have to envy your palm beach graphics. :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

Ya that black BP just looks BAD ! They have some nice white stuff with teflon VC17 i think ..at least it wont look like your boat was used in a tar pit..
If your gonna leave it in and its strong water then you may as well BP it ..just have it walnut shell blasted off when you want that virgin bottom back :D

Re: Things that make you go "ugh"
 

whats it cost to have it removed?
might be an good opportunity to buy the boat cheap and have it removed.
going to be hard to sell with it on.
