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.

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.

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. Bruce Whitmore 1994 C&C 37/40+
