I use Micron 66. It seems a bit better than Micron Extra. My boat is in Long
Island NY.


Micron 66 is designated for salt water only. There are a lot of
cruising spots in the LIS area that are up rivers in brackish or fresh
water, where Micron 66 isn't formulated to work properly.

So my question is, was last fall particularly bad for growth in New
England, especially Boston Harbor?
I think you should go back to Micron Extra! No matter what, I never
have even a single barnacle attached. All I get is slime and fuzz,
which wipes off pretty easily.

Well perhaps, but the stuff I had on (old version CPP formulated then
by
Petit but since changed I believe) worked pretty good for almost 2
seasons, at half the price. There was no speed reduction during my
last
trip of the summer; it was only going to the haulout in mid October
that
the problem was apparent. And the worst of the fouling was on parts
where I can't use copper paint anyways, the Saildrives. In any case,
I've got two gallons of Blue Water Copper Shield 45 ready to go on this
Spring.

Micron Extra gets a lot of recommendations and there are good reports
about Trinidad SR also.

I used Micron and Micron Extra for about 6 years, but when the price
went up over $200 (now $240)

I'll be buying a gallon of Micron Extra this morning for $188. That's
a sale price, but the regular price at the same place is $209, not
$240.
