Micron Ultra Bio......in my 4th year!!!! I did a quick haul in March and when I told the Yard guy what I used....he smirked and highly recommended I use the same stuff the next time around. I expect another season out of it. It is a hard paint and I use my boat a LOT!!!!
Do you clean the bottom every month?
*Nope. *Don't touch it. *I think the fact that I use my boat regularly and I go faster than most trawlers helps. *I know this is not an ablative paint but I still don't think scrubbing the boat every month is helpful to the longevity of the paint. *I would imagine it is helpful to the longevity of the diver's bank account. *I do swim a lot so when I am in the water next to the boat, I will do a tactile inspection to see if there is any barnacle growth. *I am in the Galveston Bay area. *I would say a fairly active fouling area although not as bad as Florida. *We get just enough freshwater runoff to maybe stunt some growth.
