Will be moving my boat to a slip on the lake starting next month, and need to get a bottom paint job. Any recs?

Sea Brooke Marina does a good job. What size boat? On a trailer?

It's really a easy job for the DIY's.

Sintes marina @ sea chest. If you don't use them, make sure the person does the correct prep and uses the correct paint. You might find some cheaper quotes, but if you want it to last, you're going to have to have it done correctly.

I have a quote from Seabrook, and someone told me Bents can do it as well. Don't have the time to do it myself, or I would. It's only a 21 ft boat

FYI: Neighbor's have bought boats from Bent and return them for maintenance. The wait time was in the months on the return. Everyone has been more than pissed...

Yep.

My family's been going over to Steve's for over 40 years. They aren't the cheapest, but they do good work and turn your boat around with the quickness.

Just call Susan, make an apt, get your boat there on time, and they will have it out of the water and back in within a couple days. They don't like to keep boats on the hard because their yard is too small. They want to turn them over fast.

You don't want to do it when the weather's too cold or too hot though.

I would find a stack and rack dry storage facility instead of going with bottom paint on a boat that size.

Can't pass up the rate and if the boat is on the water I will use it more

Agreed - avoid Bent at all costs.
