[C320-list] bottom paint

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

 I was going to use VC 17 but I talked to the Interlux tech service guy and he said that if the boat was going to be out of the water for more than 60 days, it would have to be lightly sanded and another coat aplied in the spring. Currently, the boat has Petit Trinidad.

  I've also used VC17 on our Capri 26 with very good results.  Easy to 
care for, etc.

What kind of paint is currently on your boat?  You may want to make your 
decision, at least in part, on how much work it will be to change paints.

I think all the VC17 was wiped of the bottom with our first encounter with kelp 
forests...
