Our hull is Awlgripped, probably 10 or more years ago. When we washed it this spring I was asked by several people if we had just had the boat painted, it still looks that good.
Awlgrip lasts a very long time. Don't wax it and do not put Poly Glow on it, just clean it now and then. Ken H.

I had it for 8 years and had no problems. No waxing needed. Just wash every spring. And looks great. Not to mention that it seals the hull better than gelcoat. > Marek > 1994 c270 Legato > Ottawa, Ontario > > -------- Original message -------- > From: bwhitmore via CnC-List <[email protected]> > Date: 9/8/17 19:57 (GMT-04:00) > To: [email protected] > Cc: bwhitmore <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain > I had a 1977 27 for 16 years that was awgripped before I bought her in 2000. Looked great, tough as all get out and got compliments right up until the day I sold her. Clean it up well and apply Poliglow. Better than Gelcoat IMHO. > Bruce Whitmore > 1994 C&C 37/40+ > Dodging Irma... > > > Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone > -------- Original message -------- > From: "Lisle Kingery, PhD via CnC-List" <[email protected]> > Date: 9/8/17 6:42 PM (GMT-05:00) > To: [email protected] > Cc: "Lisle Kingery, PhD" <[email protected]> > Subject: Stus-List Question about awlgrip hull pain > Hi all, > > I've come across this interesting 1990 c&c 30 mark ii but the hull has been painted with awlgrip. > http://www.boats.com/sailing-boats/1990-c-c-fiberglass-30-6259222/#.WbMazdEpCfA > > From what I'm reading about thisnpaint looks good for a couple years but then can be a real PITA and expensive long term. I searched the forum for related posts but didn't find much. Thoughts on whether folks think it's a really bad idea to have this paint on the hull? > Apparently the broker thinks this is one of the last 30 mark iis of it's era made and it has a universal diesel. > Thanks, > Lisle
