[Public-List] VC-17

[John Birch]

Would work great JBK. Remember to put a barrier coat on a glass hull, 
Interprotect or something like that. But the hardness of the paint works 
well on trailerable boats with minimal abrasion from the rollers if properly 
applied. As always, read the instructions on the can.

Best

John
