It seems the norm in south Florida is to have a diver scrape the barnacles off once a month for boats left wet stored. That's pretty much NOT what I'm used to in NJ, which is only one coat of ablative paint each spring.
My future trawler will be wet stored Nov-April and dry stored April to Nov. I keep hearing Trinidad is the way to go but I dont want the build-up from seasonal coats. Is ablative paint effective down here for stopping barnacle growth? If so, which ablative paints work and which do not in FL saltwater?
