I’m curious to see the responses as well. Last year was my first with ablative bottom paint and I used TotalBoat Underdog. Great reviews, but my experience in the Chesapeake Bay was that I had to be hauled and pressure washed by late summer, because I couldn’t get the engine above an idle. The barnacle growth was complete coverage of the prop and about 3” thick algae forest on the hull with heavy barnacle growth under it. I know last year was bad for growth on the bay, but I have to find something better this year.
From: John and Maryann Read [mailto:johnprea...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2019 12:14 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Sea Hawk Bottom Paint Am searching for a better water based ablative multi season bottom paint. Moor in a river with salt tidal water so there is a constant water movement. Temperature ranges from 55 in early spring to 70 in late August. Have used Pettit Hydrocoat SR with less than satisfactory results – much slime. Came across SeaHawk which by its claims looks promising. Anyone have experience?? https://www.bottompaintstore.com/boat-bottom-paint-c-13523.html/boat-bottom-paint-water-based-bottom-paint-c-13523_14116.html/monterey-self-polishing-solvent-free-bottom-paint-p-9484.html TIA John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT
