Boat
Bottom
Refurbishing
|
Smith's Boat Salvage has the expertise to refurbish your boat's bottom including barrier coating, blister repair, flaking paint repair and the application of bottom paint. The bottom job begins with a complete inspection for the items needing attention.
Boats usually require the application of epoxy barrier coats or an epoxy prime and tack coat before the marine bottom paint can be applied. Boats that have never been painted must be dewaxed, sanded with fine grit sand paper to roughen the surface and chemically cleaned before the first coat of epoxy barrier paint is applied. Sometimes older boats, in need of blister repair, the removal of excessive paint buildup or the changing from ablative to modified epoxy bottom paint, require that the previous bottom paint be removed and the bottom sanded back to the gel coat. The epoxy barrier coats are allowed to dry thoroughly between applications. The tack coat is allowed to dry to the point where it is sticky to the touch before the first coat of bottom paint is applied.
After the proper prep of the bottom, the first coat of bottom paint is applied. The first coat is allowed to dry then the second coat is applied. After the second coat has properly dried, a third coat is applied around the waterline and on the leading edges where the most protection is needed. Once the entire bottom is painted and allowed the proper time to dry, the boat is washed and is readied for launch.
Smith's Boat Salvage provides the best possible boat bottom repair and painting in the least amount of time. Give Bo Smith a call at
601-201-9135 to get a free estimate and schedule a time to have the bottom of your boat refurbished.

| Land
and Water Boat Recovery |
| One cannot abandon a downed
boat, collect the insurance and forget about it. The owner of a
disabled boat remains liable for subsequent problems associated
with the boat.. If a boat goes down in or near a
navigable channel, the U.S. Coast Guard will require its
removal. If the owner fails to respond, the Coast Guard will
remove it for them and expect the owner to pay the cost of
recovery along with a possible fine.
Smith's Boat Salvage is
experienced in recovering boats lost to the forces of nature,
through navigational error or to the perils of the sea. After
hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Smith's Boat Salvage recovered
many boats for major insurance companies and individuals.
