Best Bottom Paint These days for SE FL

[footloose]

Hi guys - looking to redo bottom while she is on the dry for an engine swap....been YEARS since I did the bottom paint and I can't remember what I used.

Anything new or improved that you would recommend for me?

For what it is worth :slow moving shallow all-salt water canal....planing hull.....green slime and razor clams and barnacles are the norm near my house.

Many Thanks!

I like Trinidad Ultra.

Thanks Bill - you are in the same waters as I am aren't you?

Not at the moment. We are in PR. But I've always had good luck with Trinidad in the past in Florida and the Bahamas. Just make sure what ever you use is compatible with what is on there now. Unless of course you are going to strip the old paint off.

I think Trinidad is what I used the last time actually - just wasnt sure if there had been any breakthroughs.

Thanks

One friend on mine used it, so far so good.

It's hard stuff, great if you have divers come and clean you up.
