After noticing the boat would not get past 23 knots in a slightly rough sea and took an age to get on the plane, ive had the sterndrive up and had a good feel around and sure enough its covered in small barnacles plus i could see the s/drive a/foul has worn down to the alloy in places.
So shortly going to get it lifted and retreat the antifoul etc.
Basically any makes better than others for the Medway.
Boat is a Fairline Sprint 21

Thanks

Well finally got around to doing it, used E45 anti foul, hull paint nice easy to use and covered really well, not to chuffed with the sterndrive stuff, doesnt seem to cover very well at all, i suppose only time will tell?
Even pulled the stern drive (VP SX-A 2009) off for new bellows and oil change, a job i wasnt looking forward to, but have to say was easy and all went well, certainly nothing to be afraid of.
All in all quite pleased with myself.
Loads of other stuff done, even renamed it, something we have been meaning to do for well over a year!
