Hey you guys getting things lined up for when i tear the boat apart to add a third toon. Would like some input on what kind of paint to use on the toons they are already white would like to repaint.Thanks.
Definitely needs bottom paint. How often you need to re-paint it will depend on how you use the boat (i.e. if you beach it a lot, the sand will wear the paint off the bottom quickly).
As a pontoon manufacturer and 3rd generation boat dealer, I can honestly tell you no matter what you do, you will NOT make paint stick to the toons. First tiny flake, scratch, or nick it will peel off almost immediately.

The color was right out of Henry Ford's playbook: I could get any color bottom paint as long as I wanted black. The bottom paint was a special type available for aluminum boats. There's not a huge market around here so there's not a lot of options. Of course most people thought I was crazy for trying to bottom paint the 'toons.
