Even 4" would not be incorrect depending on the wave action at your marina. Call the harbormaster at your TX marina and ask what he recommends.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 2:10 pm All advice is 3" above dwl for bottom paints.

Re: Bottom paint
Hey! That's my boat!
Wet on wet, pull it once when the final coat has gelled. I think I had some paint on it already so that the epoxy/graphite was layering over the paint there. White paint would have taken a dozen coats to cover that black epoxy, the black epoxy covers the white paint very easily. So I had to wait until that white paint was cured enough that I could mask it off comfortably without fear of it coming up when I pulled the tape. I had a number of those scenarios due to my blue "stripe"
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.
