*AkzoNobel* has been a leader in providing coatings to color and protect just about everything on this planet for over 200 years. Premium yacht coatings have been their specialty for over 140 years and we will be using an array of their top-shelf coating products on Antidote from the bottoms of the bilges, to the top-sides of the hull, the brightwork, and everything in between. The brands that we will be using include:

*Bolt Depot* supplies the Antidote restoration project with all of the _*CORRECT_*grade 316 stainless steel fasteners that you _*CANNOT_* get at most local hardware stores. They are the family hardware store that has become the best online resource for everyday, and hard to find fasteners, shipped right to your door.

*PYI Inc.* has been helping boaters get connected with innovative marine products since 1981. They produce the PSS dripless shaft seal in their on-site machine shop, and operate the only world-wide facility for the refurbishment of the MAX-Prop feathering propeller (They are the distributor for New Max-Props to North and South America and Asia). PYI did an incredible job restoring Antidote’s 35 year old 3-blade Classic to “better than new” condition. Catch the action here: _
