[C320-list] Bottom Paint

[Robert E. Sloat]

Steve-Here in Lake Michigan the paint of choice for newly commissioned
Catalina's from Sailplace, the Catalina dealer in Waukegan IL, is Interlux
VC 17m Extra which is a hard paint with Teflon + copper.  A quick
application every spring for 4 seasons has left basically no build-up and
things below the water line are a smooth as a lapdancer's .....

If you are in warm and/or salt water, there may be a different version of
this product.
