bottom paint cost

JusDreaming · 09-07-2007, 18:07

we have only had our bottom painted in the Bahamas up to now. What should I expect to pay to have the bottom painted here in the states. It is 35 feet LWL, and obviously a catamaran with a 3.5 draft. I would prefer an ablative paint for southern waters.
