If you are in South Florida and only get two years before you feel the need to recoating the Briteside, you will have avoided recoating the varnish at least three times.
I fully expect your timetable is right for your area. I've seen Brightside in other uses where I like and it's not unreasonable to expect a 5 year cycle.
For me that would be a huge bonus.

Last year I just missed 200 hr and I did not get everything, close but not quite.

Darn boat expect to be used. Well, my wife and I expected to use it.
