[C320-list] bottom paint

[Chris Descher]

Yes, I'm confident that the boat has not had a bottom job since it was
originally commissioned, so it would have the original bottom paint.

Hi Chris,

Just to clarify things, are you saying that the boat has not had a
bottom job in 12 years?  If not, how long has it been?

Also, what kind of paint is on the bottom right now?  What kind of shape
is it in?
