I meant if you are only out of the water when the temps are generally in the teens and 20's how do you paint the bottom? But I think what I have decided since I am to go in the water in two weeks is just go back in the water and then in May or April if and when it warms up to high forties to low fifties at night, haul out then and paint since it is too cold to do it now. I am assuming growth should not be too bad with the water cold anyway.
