Personally, if this was a joke, I missed it. Sorry!

Bottom paint is nasty stuff and something we really do not need in NH on a freshwater lake. It is much more cost effective to have your boat pulled mid-season and pressure washed, than it is to use anti-fouling bottom paint. Washing is much better for the ecology than the nasty chemicals.

If you purchase a boat with anti-fouling bottom paint, have it professionally removed as part of the purchase deal. And have it removed close to where it was applied.

I was not intending to upset anyone. I do not like it when people solve a problem by moving it to another area or state. We only have one planet, at least only one planet that will support our life.
