The PO of our boat used SeaHawk in Mobile Bay. It looked great at the
survey after 2-ish years.
I'm now in North Carolina in the Pamlico River. Had SeaHawk Biocop TF
blue put on May 2017. I had the boat pulled last week to install a a PYI
dripless stuffing box and cutlass bearing and the bottom still looks
great. I've cleaned it in the water only 3 or 4 times (using scuba) and
I've had a short pull and pressure wash twice in almost to two years.
I'm in brackish water and in a creek that doesn't get a lot of current.
Highly recommend it!

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.

*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??
