My first boat yard experience was sawing through the barnacles so a centerboard would go up and down 
I am still unsure you you paint up in the trunk to control the issue ?

C/B & S/K gripe & praise thread!
C/B - centerboard S/K= swing keel
I've pretty much decided my next boat will (if, maybe, ) be 33ft or larger, with a CB like the vintage pearsons. I had a hunter 23 before my fin keeled Oday 30 and I liked the way the S/K (swing keel) worked and allowed for shallow draft. But that was a small boat!
I would love to hear the problems!
How did you solve said problems?
Are (in your opinion) CBs and SWs a viable choice for coastal crusing and shallow bays?
What kind of "high tech" ideas could be applied to CBs and SKs?
example: depth sensor auto retract
:laugher my boat is only on the hard one day, and i'm already catching up on my forums!

I am sure it can be kept under control BUT it would require the boat being lifted enough to fully lower the board so the slot and board can be painted
I think you would have to really let it get out of control to require the saw BUT
