OK, for the umpteenth time- these are not new products. They are same products that have been tweaked to be more effective using less copper. What about that is so difficult to understand?
The fact is that you probably have one of these paints on your boat right now.
This:

What ever became of that bottom paint that was supposed to not contain copper but was supposed to be like a fish's skin? Their advertising asked if you ever saw barnacles on a fish?
How's that ultrasonic barnacle repellent working out for folks?
What I use is pretty expensive but it's been around long enough to prove that it works.
