Fellow Ericson Owner
I would like to hear the experience of anyone who has had his or her spars or hull painted professionally. I plan to have my spars Awlgripped (they are white Kenyon powder coated) this Winter not only for cosmetic reasons, but to stop corrosion around the fittings. However, I have never owned an Awlgripped boat and am wondering about the perceived cost vs. benefit. The boat is 16 years old and looks good when polished in the Spring but loses that gleam just about now. Also, my wife wants the hull changed to navy blue, but that doesn't seem very "Ericson" to me. (Of course, all this depends on my winning the lottery first.)
