Answer 3

OK let's talk paint.  Bottom paint is complicated and it's best to discuss it with a boat yard near you.  Assuming there is already bottom paint on your boat there are compatibility issues that limit what you can use.  There are also environmental issues.  Then it's a wood hull, which dictates different primers and limits choices.  Then the speed of your boat dictates other considerations.  The local boat yard can sort through all that in minutes and put you on the right track.   They'll know cost as where to get what you need.   Good luck!!!!!

Answer 4

If your talking salt water find a hoist loading dock and they will hang your boat for what they call hanging time
