Protection for the hull itself
Bottom paint forms a barrier between the hull and constant water exposure, helping guard fiberglass against blistering and wood against rot after season upon season of saturation.
We bottom paint power boats, sailboats, boats on trailers, and brand new boats. Whether it has been painted before, is new to bottom paint, or is covered in barnacles, American Marine can get you ready and coated for the season.
While death and taxes may be better known, there's a third certainty in life many boat owners face that's often viewed with just as much trepidation.
Left unprotected, a hull attracts barnacles, algae, and other marine growth all season long. That growth creates drag in the water, which slows a boat down and forces the engine to work harder to hold the same speed, burning more fuel in the process.
Bottom paint forms a barrier between the hull and constant water exposure, helping guard fiberglass against blistering and wood against rot after season upon season of saturation.
Marine growth left to build up over a season is far harder and far more costly to scrape and clean off than it is to prevent with a fresh coat of paint before the boat goes back in the water.
Not every hull needs the same coating. The right bottom paint depends on the boat, how often it is used, and whether it sits in fresh or saltwater, which is why getting matched with the right product matters.
Power boat, sailboat, or trailered boat, new to bottom paint or overdue for a fresh coat, reach out and we will get you ready for the season.
