Re: Bottom Paint Types

We keep Jambalaya on the Bohemian River at the head of the Chesapeake. Essentially fresh water. We use Pettit Hydrocoat ablative and love it. One coat applied every two years (we haul every other winter) and while we do get some slime, there's no weed or hard growth. I particularly like the low VOCs and easy wash up with water. Very easy to work with. We never scrub while in the water (well, hardly ever). Strictly cruising; boat use is much less than I'd like (but isn't that often the case?)

Charlie, I keep Panache on Oneida lake NY. I have been using VC17 for over 10 years and have been very happy with it.
