Time Will Tell
By Rich from Solomons, MD

Verified Purchase

The new blue paint covered the old red bottom paint well. Put two coats of paint and 3rd coat on all leading edges, bow, keel and rudder. Two gallons for a 35' sail boat left me with maybe 1/4 - 1/3 gal left over. Let's see if this works where I am in the Chesapeake Bay. Wear a respirator and tyvek suit, this stuff was potent.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Good Bottom Protection
By Rahbaba from Moriches, Long Island, NY

Verified Purchase

Painted my boat bottom a month ago, and launched it into salt water bays of Long Island. It's been floating at it's mooring daily, and the bottom is still clean as of July 4, weekend. The Spartan was easy to apply, and compatible with the previous bottom paint, so no sanding was needed.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

We use Spartan every year
By Daniel from Bristol, RI

Verified Purchase

Family sailboat gets a fresh coat of Spartan every spring. It dries fast, too, so you aren't down at the marina all day. It has performed well every season, despite the harbor's notorious fouling conditions.

TotalBoat Spartan Ablative - Highly recommend
By JM from Portsmouth, RI

Verified Purchase

Spartan is a multi season ablative paint. I have been using this paint for years and I reapply each season to have fresh coverage. This paint keeps the bottom clear of all growth and at the end of season easily clean the bottom. Easy to roll, good coverage, drys quickly and great color. Because this paint is used every year one gallon almost covers a 38ft boat Only negative: difficult clean up. You will want a protective suit, face mask and goggles. At the end of "paint day" all trays, rollers, brushes and protective gear are thrown out. I no longer attempt any clean up on these items.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
