Suzanne, our Pegasus 800, ready to return to the water.

At least once a season, most boat owners find it time to inspect their boats and apply a fresh coat of special paint, called antifouling paint, to prevent excessive build-up of marine growth. The process can be tedious and time consuming.

This week, the DMSC team took our lovely Pegasus 800 out of the water to have her bottom washed and a fresh application of antifouling paint applied.

After securing the boat into her cradle, the entire hull was inspected under the waterline. A strong power wash removed flaking paint and then a good sanding and rub down smoothed out any imperfections. An undercoat of silver primer was applied to make the antifouling paint cure faster and better. Finally the antifouling paint was applied and left to dry.

Thirty-six hours from start to finish, the job is completed and she’s ready for the water. The DMSC team received numerous compliments from several other boat owners in the marina saying that the guys did “an amazing job.” The complete process was “done to perfection” and “the boat never looked better.”
