Lisle;

 

My 41 year old 38 just had her second paint job last fall. The previous one
was over 20 years old, and looking a bit worse for wear - but had gotten
very little maintenance in the 14 years since I bought her.

 

The instructions for maintaining the new paint job are to wash regularly
with fresh water, and annually with a product sold by the paint company.
(Awlcare?). The guy who did my paint job says the special stuff really isn't
necessary, though it might be a good idea after the paint job is a few years
old. 

 

I have to say, that's a lot less maintenance than a wax job on gelcoat every
3 to 6 months.. Or even the annual New Glass refresh I do on my 25.

 

And, unless the photos of the 30 that you posted are quite old, it appears
the boat is VERY shiny and the paint job should last a long time.

I agree with Bruce. My ex C&C 24 had the hull awlgripped before I bought it.
I had it for 8 years and had no problems. No waxing needed. Just wash every
spring. And looks great. Not to mention that it seals the hull better than
gelcoat.

I had a 1977 27 for 16 years that was awgripped before I bought her in 2000.
Looked great, tough as all get out and got compliments right up until the
day I sold her.  Clean it up well and apply Poliglow.  Better than Gelcoat
IMHO.
