Bottom Painting 

Crowley's offers a variety of anti-fouling bottom paint maintenance options. If you have any questions about what service is right for you, please give us a call. Give yourself a break this year and let Crowley's handle this dirty chore for you.

Rolled on Cruising Finish
Our crew will wipe down your existing bottom paint removing any dirt and loose flaking material. We will carefully mask off the water line, shaft, propeller, depth transducer and any other areas before rolling on one coat of anit-fouling paint. We will paint under the pads and the bottom of the keel prior to launch.

Standard Sprayed Finish
This is the standard finish for a VC 17 bottom. Our crew will wipe down your existing bottom paint removing any dirt and loose or flaking material. We will carefully mask off the water line, topsides, shaft, propeller, depth transducer as well as tarping off surrounding boats. We will then use professional airless spray equipment to apply a fresh coat of bottom paint. We will paint under the pads and the bottom of the keel prior to launch.

Racing Sprayed Finish
This service is designed for the racing enthusiast seeking a superior competitive advantage. Included in this service are all of the services provided in the standard sprayed finish but extra care will be taken to sand down flaking and rough areas. Additionally, after the bottom is sprayed, the entire bottom will be burnished with newspapers to give it an even smoother finish.

Bottom Prep

Wet sanding, bottom paint removal, keel/hull joint repairs and hull fairing are all routine operations for us. Give us a call to discuss your needs. From a power peel to a #2000 wet sanded finish, Crowley's can provide it.

Gelcoat Touch-Ups   

If you use your boat and no matter how careful or skilled you are, you will inevitably end up with nicks and gouges in your deck and hull sides. Making repairs to your gelcoat is a tricky operation. Done incorrectly, a repair can look worse than the damage. We employ some of the most skilled craftsmen in the country in this trade. Crowley's routinely does complicated nonskid repairs, color matches and structural fiberglass repairs that other yards will not even attempt.

If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service at 773-221-9990.
