Barrier Coating The Bottom of The Boat

[Perlmudder]

I've had the Interlux white epoxy bottom coat on my fountain for 6-7 years.
I acid wash it once a year and frequently wipe it down with black streak remover also after each use to remove the waterline crud. It has held up perfectly.
The color is slightly to the grey side as compared to the original hull gel. Mine was rolled on and tipped with a brush and although it isn't prefectly smooth like gel but I'll take it over any alternative.

See, thats the problem. We are not going to bottom paint, but because thats not the issue. Since we pull it out of the water every 2 weeks or so and power wash and wax, we don't have to worry about growing stuff. I am worried that they are going to apply the barrier coat to the bottom, and it will look like crap because it will not be the same color as the white gel coat.

It is weird that every other boat that was a Larson at this guys marina had no issues, just ours. I don't mind them putting it on if its not going to be noticeable, but if its going to be really ugly, I will not be impressed. Also, how can they apply the barrier coat if they don't know where the boat sits in the water? I would assume they are just going to eye ball it and do it higher then they think the boat will float just incase...

Do not trust the marina to put the barrier coat were you think it should go, you need to sit down with them and the boat and agree. They could follow the boot stripe or follow the bottom or just
guess.

Yes, Barrier coat all by itself will look like chit and will look blotchy after getting the wet-dry-wet treatment. It's barrier coat,has no UV protection you should cover it with something or go back to the drawing board.
