    A quick note on the 2000/2001. As of last year (end of '01) the overcoat
    times can go as far as 2 weeks between coats (except when the first anti
    fouling is applied). Just be sure the can reflects this and you don't get
    old stock. I believe when you did the 6 coats it was one long weekend and
    then some due to strict overcoat times. I repaired about 500+ blisters this
    past winter and then West system'd the hull twice, then 5 coats of
    2000/2001. No reports to date as we splashed in July '03. I've heard
    Interprotect is highly recommended.
    And BTW, our boat weighed 43000 lbs when hauled, 38000 when it went back in.
    All factors remained the same except the hull was dried. 47' in the water
    since '82 with only short hauls for bottom paint.

    <<<<<I have been very satisfied with Interprotect 2000/2001. After repairing
    300
    blisters, I sanded the entire below waterline area with 80 grit paper then
    applied 6 layers of Interprotect. The application schedule is critical.
    Successive
    coats must be applied before the previous coat entirely cures. Before the
    last coat cured, I applied the first layer of antifouling paint. That was
    six
    years ago. No problems to date.>>>>>
