Default Bottom Paint Opinion

My old sailboat has ablative bottom paint on her. I have sanded her and
much of the old paint is gone.

Now.. which bottom paint to put on. My first thought; the Interlux ACT
ablative bottom paint.

But I figured I'd post a question and find out if there is a difference in
ablative bottom paints.

I've been using that paint for years, on a few differant boats, great
stuff.

Default Bottom Paint Opinion

I painted my brand new sail boat with black ACT and followed with a coat of
green ACT. Every spring, I just touchup the places where black is showing
plus a band about six inches wide around the waterline. The boat looks
interesting as she is launched but the colors blend after a week or so. All
this in Casco Bay, Maine.
