Boat Bottom Painting

Professional Boat Bottom Painting in Vinita, OK

Protecting your boat’s hull is just as important as maintaining its engine or deck. At Taylor’s Fiberglass Repair, LLC, we offer high-quality boat bottom painting services to keep your vessel’s underside free from algae, barnacles, and water damage. Serving Vinita, Afton, and lakes across northeastern Oklahoma, we apply antifouling coatings that reduce drag, boost efficiency, and extend the life of your boat.

What Is Bottom Painting and Why Does It Matter?

Bottom painting, also called antifouling, involves applying a protective paint layer to the underwater portion of your boat’s hull. This helps prevent:



  • Marine Growth: Algae, barnacles, and other organisms that attach below the waterline

  • Hull Drag: Build-up increases resistance, slowing performance and fuel efficiency

  • Osmotic Damage: Long-term water contact can lead to blisters and hull degradation

  • Costly Repairs: Regular painting avoids expensive scraping or major resurfacing later

If your boat stays in the water for extended periods, bottom painting is essential for both performance and preservation.

Our Boat Bottom Painting Process

  1. Surface Prep: We haul and clean the hull thoroughly, removing old growth and residue.

  2. Sanding & Inspection: We sand the hull to promote adhesion and inspect for damage or blistering.

  3. Barrier Coat (if needed): For added protection, we apply an epoxy barrier coat before painting.

  4. Antifouling Paint Application: We use high-quality marine antifouling paint appropriate for your boat type and water conditions.

  5. Final Inspection: Once dry, we check all areas for coverage and uniform finish before return.

This ensures a clean, smooth, and durable coat that protects your hull all season long.
