Newbie here,
Getting acquainted with my recent purchase of a 2009 Hunter 49. Am looking at getting my first bottom paint job done in the next 2-6 months. The bottom cleaning chap describes the bottom as "Bottom paint in POOR condition overall. Missing paint in several areas, and thin in others" - does this sound urgent enough to bring forward or requires more work than a professional paint job ? And is there a prime month of the year to do a this (So. CA location).
He also described the anodes "Maxprop anode, strut, and shaft anode FAIR condition – will need replacing next service" - familiar with the anodes, but not familiar with the strut ? How much should I budget for these items?
Thanks, C
