Looking into buying a boat that has been in fresh water lake since new (15 yrs) what would need to be done to switch anti fouling from fresh to salt if anything??

Usually nothing.

Ron: There are many paints that work in both environments. Do you know what paint is currently on the boat? We have our boat in fresh water and use Petit SR.

The best bet

is to talk to your dock mates and local haulout yards and see what they use. Many times the selection of bottom paint is based on local conditions and what's worked. Why not? Stu
