Not to try to throw a wet towel on the on the Joys of spring chores and launching....If the boat has spent it's life under the protection of likely .."Copper Based Anti-Fouling" bottom paint, commonly used in salt water...I wonder if ALL the old copper paint has to be Stripped Off down to gelcoat to be legal for use in the lake...from an environmental point of view..?? I don't know the answer to this question and am curious.

Stripping old bottom paint was always my least favorite part of owning a salt water boat. I did it every year for 25+ years. NB
