Ray, I’ve been using Petit Vivid for years — It’s a great multi-season paint and your bottom cleaner will love you for the brighter color choice. It was also ranked very high by Practical Sailing.
I’m not sure what kind of work you’ll need to do, if any, to apply it to a VC-17 bottom. Talk to the Petit guys about that. All the best, Edd Edd M.

I am no longer going to be racing. It is fresh water boat. I am reaching out to determine what bottom paint i should go with that is less work every year. Please share your thoughts and opinions.
