Avon SR4 water line

Hi,

I'm trying to find where the waterline should be on an Avon SR4 so I can antifoul it? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Phill

Any help?
Pic is with flooding hull open. Personally I'd just antifoul the whole hull.

Ours have always been done up to the tubes. Don't forget to mask it though!

Its the flooding hull.
So you reckon just paint it all? What about the transom?

Going off my 5.4 the water line is about an inch above the front nostrils (and if you imagine the angle of the hull in the water) it goes back to the tubes just over half way of the length of the boat. There isn't that much of the bow left out of the water so it would prob be easiest to do the lot.
