I know there's a million posts on this, but I'm hoping somebody with knowledge on the matter might be able to tell me and save me a day of reading. Ablative or copper or soft or hard, what brand - I have no idea.
So, to choose a paint, I think these are the factors.
The boat is in Boston harbor, so chilly northeast waters.
Obviously it's a trawler, so we rarely go faster than 9 knots.
We go on a short cruise every week or two, and weekend trips about once a month.
It stays in the water during the winter (we are liveaboards) with the rare cruise.
I would like to haul out every other year, but have a diver come clean on the off year.
I don't know what paint is on there right now, but I'm ideally looking for teal colored paint.
I apologize for my laziness, but what should I get??
