I will have to bottom paint this year and am looking for an update on what is available. I currently have Petit Trinidad on the boat and I believe it is the "regular" version. I understand that some versions (SR) of this are no longer available:

My situation; KK42, so 7.5 kts through water. I'm freshwater moored and typically only go into saltwater 3 months or less a year. The last two times I hauled the yard manager said give it a scuff and be done with it. So the paint is now 10 years old. It's a hard, non ablative paint. The yard manager said don't put an ablative paint on it. I'd rather not because I see a lot of boats in the yard with a significant buildup.
This is the product I am thinking of using:

Defender has this product:

and states it is a "Hard Durable Finish".
Thoughts?
