Bottom paint - Required? (in freshwater)

[dlochner]

My local Home Depot has 2" x 6" x 8 ft boards for $4.98/ea. If I cut them 16 inches instead of 18 inches I get 6 pieces per board.

Doesn't seem too bad....

Remember, a 2x6 board is a 2x6 in name only. In real life the board is 1.5" x 5.5". The six pieces will get you 4.5" of height.

The blocks come in different sizes, there are sometimes known as cinder blocks, building blocks, concrete blocks, etc. These are the blocks used to build walls.

A Paver is a solid concrete slab about 2-3" thick used for walkways or to top off a concrete block wall. Take a trip to your local big box hardware store and wander around, you'll see them probably in the outside area.

Ahhhh... gotcha. Yes I paved a walkway just a few months ago.

Ok, I'll look into it. Thanks!! Going to bring the boat to my house Thursday morning... Looking forward to doing this!!

Good point. Yeah, I bet the concrete blocks will be more budget-friendly.
