On our Redwing 35 (C&C 35-1), we used Micron CSC after removing the old,
built up chipping bottom paint (and applying barrier coat). I used
Micron CSC for the multi season capabilities but it seemed that every
year I used a gallon of paint to cover wear on the leading edges of the
keel and rudder. It held up well but we did as much or more to keep
ahead of wear.
Our new C&C 35-3 came painted with VC-17. We paint every spring using 3
quarts of VC-17 mixed with 10% Denatured Alcohol. I much prefer the
VC-17. Easier to work with, can be applied in much lower temperatures.
At the end of the season, the boat washes off clean and spring prep is
pretty easy.
We are in fresh water (Lake Michigan)

Everyone:
For the past several years, at the beginning of the season, I have
been sanding the bottom and have painted it with VC-17. I am no
longer going to be racing. It is fresh water boat. I am reaching out
to determine what bottom paint i should go with that is less work
every year. Please share your thoughts and opinions.
