That looks like a really nice boat, only negative is the bottom paint, I've never been a fan of that.
Smart that he is willing to trade, but for a Fountain, really?.......lol Yea I didn't like the bottom paint either, but it does look nice, the water where it is, is crystal clear like LSC. |

Good Call, thank you very much for taking the time to look at the boat! Your time is much appreciated!
Quest are you looking to move into a cruiser style boat or just something bigger? |

Really nice of you to check the boat out for him. Kudos to you!

Would it be too costly and a waste of time to try and have the bottom paint removed???

It is costly and you need a breather since its lead based... Maybe work it into the deal

Don't most places blast bottom paint off? Boats get this done when it's either too thick with coat after coat or it's flaking off. I wouldn't assume it's that out of the ordinary.
I'm not sure on the cost though, may still be high. |

My f-i-l just did this on his 455 Carver and didnt seem to complain about the price at all. I don't know what media was used.
The boat was covered with bottom paint after blasting. I'm sure to get the hull in decent condition without bottom paint it might take some work. |
I guess one could always roll on white bottom paint?
