Yes, she has paint for a lake and fresh water right now. She was painted before I bought her and the people who sold it did not know as the person before them had the bottom painted. She is coming up on 3 years anyway, so it is time to paint. Yes, I would assume and will ask as the paint that is there would not be suitable for brackish or salt water. Thanks for the knowledge.

They will surely be able to get it. One of the most popular brands in the industry. Offshore version is a paint that is very hard and does not slowly peel off like an ablative paint is designed. Ablatives should only be used in fresh water as a 1 or 2 season application. Good luck! er

They’re the only yard in Mobile that has a big enough lift for your boat. Good luck on the trip down river!

Not sure when you’ll be coming to town, but Mardi Gras season kicks off (first parade) Feb 14th.

Are you still in Fairhope? We have been at DI Marina for 6 months now and we are leaving this month. Moving to Fairhope Docks Marina D7.

We ended up at DI for 6 months and now just moved to Fairhope Docks yesterday. So far many positives here.
