    No i don't used the fouling paint since its been only sitting in fresh water from early april to november. Always been ok with just a good double wax coat. Was told this spring will be bad also if you put the boat in that early...the mussels will begin as seeds attaching to the boat.

    Griots 3n1 can be used on every surface on the exterior. its not really going to darken trim like a trim product would but it will work fine on it.

    Mine sits from May to October, and if I didn't use an Ablative on the bottom it would look like a carpet was growing under it. More money spent on fuel to be able to push it too! You might want to look into a barrier coat this year, save your hull from damage. Most wax doesn't last long below the water line, especially after a few runs the water strips it off.

    You’ll be happy with the Griots products. I use all their products from polishes to waxes, cleaners, da polishers etc. All imo work extremely well and are very easy to use. Don’t forget to throw the ceramic glass cleaner in your cart it works great too.

    Well at this point the boat has been cleaned up, and for sale. The wife has been begging me to sell it for awhile now as were both getting older.
