Default Bottom Paint question

If the boat isn't barrier coated ... as far as I know, it isn't. ... will
this make a difference in "holding" ability of the paint?

And ,, is the West Marine product a good quality product?

I try not to shop at West, the place has become WalmartMarine in my opinion.

All three of the paints I mentioned are multi season. I've gotten 2
1/2 years out of the Micron Extra and it was still doing a good job
when we hauled out last week except for high wear areas. We covered
about 8,000 miles in that time, both north and south.


Good to hear that. I believe that is what I put on last year.


I used Micron CSC, and then switched to Micron Extra about 4 years ago.
It's a
little better with slowing down slime. I get about a season per coat. I
put on
two coats every third commissioning and it's worked out very well. At the
end of
two seasons I will just faintly start to see some gray shadows of barrier
coat
in high wear spots.
