Roger that. Interlux also recommends it, and provides timing info.
I put hard paint on, then ablative over that, with a different color. While I prefer to clean my own hull these days, I've been known to get lazy and hire a local. Some of these guys think every boat is like his brother-in-law's panga, and don't understand why I would get upset if they use a heavy stainless steel industrial kitchen scrubber to remove all the paint down to the fiberglass. (After all, it's easy to repaint a boat -- you just pull it up on the beach, flip it upside down, slap a coat of paint on and the next day you're ready to go fishing! What's the big deal?)
