fisherdad Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Having had our 30 year old Bertram since April we have had it out of the water twice for anti foul. The hull is going ok but we need to think about some of the patches that are pealing off, that's a seperate issue as all it needs is bead blasting. Out larger issue is the legs, we have had them done twice first time ok secont time barnicales appeared within 2 months. Has anyong had good results with antifouling their legs, I have heard you can bring in products from the states that last longer pm if you need to but I am sure I am not alone withthis issue David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
