Then, when the hull looks it’s absolute worst, people try to fix it by bottom painting it..flat black.
My last boat was 13 years of 100% white.
It’s not that it hides scum and stains.. ( dark transom is better for that). I think white is the most forgiving to polish with limited skill , and effort. I love the look of the black bottom with a red edge stripe and white topside. I’m in a swamp so maybe I’ll just order one primer and guidecoat.Tuscany wrote: Sun Jun 02, 2019 11:52 am I’m still not sure how white, the brightest and most reflective of all things, hides black grime, surface dirt and green algae bath tub ring that boating produces..

I see your point Matt. I’m sure most people look at it that way. I disagree, not with you, but rather that white is easier. If a person isn’t meticulous, I guess there is a point. Ram a dock and white shows less scratch. I would bet that all of us here are slightly anal where that will never happen.cmattj wrote: Sun Jun 02, 2019 1:08 pmIt’s not that it hides scum and stains..
