[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 294578, member: 10"] You should not use any bottom paint on your tin boat - unless you plan to keep it stored in the water. Bottom anti-foul paint is designed to leach off (kinda slowly melts) but once it drys it will just begin to flake in spots and no longer work You plan on staying in the back water a 15 hp will work but you guys get some heavy tides and I would rather see you with at least a 25 "just in case" Fighting a raging tide to get home when weather is coming is not much fun - you will sit in one place or just creep in the heavy current [/QUOTE]
