Felton,

Thanks for your response. I chose CSC MICRON for the same reason. It
isn't an anti slime paint. you have to go up to Optima,


Hi, Thom. I use Optima, and it performs very well. Last year, when the
boat was hauled, a few onlookers assumed that she had only been in the water
for a few months. There were a few growths hanging off the hull, but
generally, she was very clean - and she had been in the water for a year!!!


However, I have heard that different anti-foulings work differently in
different places. I think that you need to ask other people in your own
marina.

I believe that different paints work better in different parts of
my(Portsmouth) harbour.

Also, I believe that if you read the small print, you will find that the
paint is only meant to last 6 months.


Regards


Donal

Donal,

The CSC print says Multi-season copolymer

Water Temp here in the NW never get warm; about 54 degrees in the winter
colder in the summer as the ice in the mountains melts and feeds ice
water into the rivers

I chose Shark White color. It is a very ligth gray. What a beautiful
looking bottom! I'm sure I'll be able to see any Slime very easierly.
I'll keep you informed

Thanks BB,

That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Guess I should have asked a
week ago. The free haul out next spring or summer will make it easy to
change
