Curious if anyone has boated Lake Powell with bottom paint on their boat. I have SeaHawk AF-33 bottom paint on our R25Classic. Do they allow launching if you have a non-copper free bottom paint or do they turn you away? Do they even check? Does the cleaning/decontamination station at Lake Powell harm the bottom paint?
 
Can't comment about Lake Powell, but my experience in Yellowstone lake was great. I would suspect that they would be just as stringent as Lake Powell. There was no mention of bottom paint at all. I have had friends cruise Lake Powell and no one ever mentioned a bottom paint issue.
 
I have cruised Lake Powell for over 30 years and have never been questioned about bottom paint.
During the last 5 years they are asking questions about where you boated last and how long ago. Upon pulling the boat out they will do a quick inspection and you must remove your drain plug.
