Anyone have recommendations for a good non-toxic hard bottom paint? Copper based ablatives are slowly being ruled out by harbor management plans and I want to look at some options now.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Interlux Micron Extra has biolux instead of copper, so does micron CSC. The Extra is better paint for the money IMHO. Also, Aquaguard makes an enviornmentally safe paint, heard good things about it from guys in my marina but never used it myself.

I just spent 10 days fishing at North Eleuthera, BA. The boatyards/marinas are all booked solid for months for bottom paint from US boats. The sail guy I chatted with said he can get in the Bahamas what he cant get at home, at competitive prices.
