ablative Antifouling - SW FL

If anyone's had good results with a particular ablative antifouling
paint in
SW Florida waters, I would appreciate knowing what it is and hearing
comments.
Thanks, rbc


I don't use ablative paint because I expect multi-season use from
my bottom paint and I like to snorkel around and clean it from
time to time with a scrub brush.

Recently, I tried Vivid (yellow) on one of my dinghies and it is awesome.
After two months so far there is not a speck of slime or anything on the
bottom.

It's expensive but it looks like it might be the way to go if it continues
to hold up this well. There is an addition "hazardous material" surcharge
on the shipping so what does that tell you? It just might be the answer
to the banning of TBT.
