Hi everyone and to my fellow Canadians, happy Thanksgiving. I pulled Wild Rover out of the lake last weekend and found not to my surprise that once again I have lost the majority of the VC17 I painted onto the hull within 6 inches of the waterline. I originally brought the hull back to bare gel coat with a random orbital sander and sealed with 6 coats of Interprotect 2000. This was sanded flat and roughed up prior to the VC application. The Vc goes on as per the instructions but every year I loose that 6" or so. More where the water is turbulent. It's frustrating watching others pull boats with intact bottom paint, even those who clean their hulls every couple of weeks. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? This is all the more important as the zebra mussel infestation in Lake Winnipeg requires a good paint job. There were about a thousand of them on the little keel in front of my rudder which like the top 6" had lost its VC17 from the lower horizontal surface.
