[C320-list] How Often to Repaint Hull

[jackbrennan]

Depends on the type of bottom paint. 

Hard paint like Pettit Trinidad will last three or four years in Florida with regular cleanings. Ablative paints might last two years.

This is in the water 12 months a year. Hard paints often lose their effectiveness if left in air for a long time.
