    Default Re-Painting the Submarine....

    I started vacation today...seems like I might have 10 days to frolic around in the SC Swamp...So, I i began to repaint my Swamp boat. We are excited about running the river and camping out. Look forward to more from the swamp!

    I figure to be hidden from the side and if it is absolutely necassary I can be seen from above.

    I still have to recover the seats!

    Well...since you asked, there was this one time...I was running from a thinderbluster...She'll flat out run! 60 mph...empty with just me. That guy in the Triton didn't realize that and I was showing my butt! Anyhow he had a slim lead on me and turned off into Low Falls Landing...I figured on Going straight back to Packs Landing...Anyhow....I crossed his wake and went airborne...The tiller handle broke off as We re-entered the Santee Cooper River. I took the longest....Deepest dive of my life...I looked over my shoulder to see the Meat grinder circling above! Best part was my X wife...well one of them was still in the boat!

    LOL, with the ex that almost sounds premeditated. Actually though that wasn't the lost I meant. I meant have you ever went to shore, out in the swamp and came back to the boat and like "where did I dock that boat" .

    LOl! never lost it like that! and in fact the "X" was perfectly safe...All she had to do was pull the choke! Now there was this one time...I was on the Wataree River...I had her tied off to a willow tree...The river dropped...and it was a good 45ft. push to the water!! kinda muddy! I can tell some serious survival stories if ya'll really want to know...Things happen fast on the water!

    Yes, actually two of them did. The littlest ones are my stepdaughter's I parented for 5 yrs, my daughters older sister. It has been painted many times since. I won't paint over them and Cheryl added hers this time around. Bought the boat in 2000. 11 years later it is in the same shape I bought it in after hundreds of trips out. That is the beauty of an all weld aluminum jon boat.

    You got the bottom still done with anti-fouling? Nice camo paint anyway! Is the camo a marine grade paint?
    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    The " antifouling" is actually a hydrofoil, it greates lift and helps prevent cavitation as I run the motor a little high using a "jackplate". The paint is just fast dry enamel some colors are better than others....Aluminum don't like paint period. I just prep the surface to be really clean and spray it again every couple of years. It creates depth thus camouflage.

    Chance favors the prepared mind so I'm going to suggest an inflatabe emergency device in case you have to abandon ship. Something SAR will be certain to see.

    I suppose that works too. It is true that aluminium doesn't like paint, which is why I asked, interested for professional reasons you see. I was wondering If you guys over the pond got something we don't... Good job once more.

    I do believe that you two are talking about two different things. NCO was asking about anti-fouling paint for the bottom of your boat which is designed to slow or inhibit the growth of water beasties on the boat. CS you were talking about the foil which will aid your boat in getting up on a plane.

    Don't know if anti-fouling paint was used or not, but for a trailered boat that does not sit continually in the water it is probably not necessary.
