BEST BOTTOM PAINT?

[loaferoatan]

Group;
Looking on redoing my bottom paint and wanted to check out which brand would be best for my 209 Escape. The boat sits at a mooring 10 months out of the year in a salt water bay. I usually only trailer it when bad weather is coming or when I'm going on a trip. I've got my eye on a gallon of Sea Hawk Biocop TF. I'd like to only have to repaint it every two years or so. Any advice would be great appreciated.

Ask other boaters in your boating area what works best for them. In NJ USA I am using Pettit Hydrocoat, a water based bottom paint with great success. It is an ablative paint that I get 3 seasons out of. My boat is in the water for 6 to 7 months per year. Our water temperature is a little colder than yours so we see less vegetation growth than you will.
