so im chasing my bottom paint around with a scraper. I started by removing what I thought was a few lose sections. some of it comes off really easy but then theres bits that are still stuck on quite well. however after spending all day getting about 1/6 of the hull clean im over it and my schedule didn't account for me having to bring the hull back bare.

so what is my best option

1: suck it up and take all the anti foul off. at least I know that the new bottmom paint will stick and its got to be done sooner or later anyway

2: scrap off the really lose stuff and then just slap some new paint over the top not using a primer so that next year when I haul out I can easly remove the paint and do it properly

3: scrape off the lose stuff and add primer on the bare bits then anti foul. adding the primer will make it much harder to clean the hull next year but its the only way that the paint want fall off for the next 12 months. in this case going to option one sound like a better choice.
