The bottom paint store.com has it now in 4 colors at ~ $245/gallon with free
shipping. Can’t find any reviews on it on-line yet. Delivery to NC from
someplace (don’t recall site name!) was ~$17/gallon.
Am not plugging it but at the site above it is currently cheaper than Vivid!
FWIW,

I am watching that Pettit Odyssey Triton, there are no review ofit, as it
doesn’t seem to be available yet. But it doesn’t’ look like it willbe cheap.
But I am interested.

Subject: Stus-List Bottom paint—final!
Thanks to all who responded to my bottom paint inquiry.Between your responses,
my diver’s thoughts and a little thought of my own, Ihave a plan:
1. I am sticking with a hard ablative, Petite Vivid orOdyssey?
2. Rough up/sand the entire bottom and feather anyedges where the old paint
flaked off completely to provide a good surface fornew paint.
3. Roll on 2 coats with a third coat onleading edges of keel/bow/rudder and
centerboard.
4.The diver wipes down bottom, effectively smoothing theablative paint pretty
well. He does this before almost every race and when inthe water, the paint is
easy to clean and smooth. (When on the hard, thepaint isn’t ‘ablating’ and
would need sanding to remove the roller imprint. Inthe water, the diver does
the smoothing relatively easily.)
I think this will work well and significantly reduce thecost since a lot of
sanding will be eliminated.
Feel free to comment on this plan.
Also any thought on Petit’s new ablative Odsseypaint?
Thanks again,
