CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 4, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yup, modern boat building is all about flammable and toxic materials. It's one of the things that would scare the hell out of me if I had one of those boats. "Luckily", life has ensured that'll never happen.....

Yikes. Yes, most of the bottom paints have some form of a copper suspension. Not good when burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
