[C320-list] Bottom Prep question

[Kirk McCullough]

Jon

What you describe happened to us shortly after we got our boat. The old 
paint came off easily, on the roller and once the new paint was on the old 
paint underneath  released, flaking off the old and the new together. The 
yard explained this as a bottom paint incompatibility. Do you know if you 
are using a compatible bottom paint?
