Getting ready for boating season

Apr. 6—EAST LYME — Walt Laizer, of Westfield, Mass., spent time at Niantic Docominiums Thursday painting the hull of his 37 foot Topaz Express sport fishing boat with antifouling paint. The pain prevents barnacles from attaching to the hull.

Laizer said his boat was taken out of the water for the winter after Thanksgiving because he likes to use the boat as long as the weather is good. The boat was the last boat out of the water at Niantic Dockominiums.

Laizer plans to have the boat back in the water on April 15 and it will be the first boat at the marina that is launched for the season.
