Had the boat hauled about a month ago for bottom work. It had been almost 3 years and several of the yard workers said it looks pretty good for that amount of time except for the area around the swim platform supports and trim tabs. They also commented that they had seen this regularly on Flemings, and since my boat is made in the same yard, it made sense and they knew how to deal with it. Of course, it would also cost an additional several hundred dollars to deal with it though. Picture 1
Picture 2 is after paint - Pettit Ultima SR-60. Looks good to me!
Turns out that they had installed the bow thruster props on backwards, so I had to haul the boat again 3 weeks later to get this corrected, and discovered that things didn't quite look as expected as shown by pictures 3-7.
They immediately said that this was due to an electolysis problem, so I'm having the bonding system tested next week. They may be right and I'll know more then. But, in the meantime, and because I don't know jack about this, I'm also wondering about perhaps bad prep work, or maybe something else I can't even think of.
