Fred:
As I mentioned in my note suggesting what NOT to get, I like Baltoplate. However, VC17 is by far the favorite paint for racers in Erie. From a slime/growth standpoint, they both work about the same (which, frankly, is mediocre -- as was ZO-HP and the Jamestown proprietary ablative paint I’m currently using). I am unaware of a bottom paint that stops the slime/growth problem in freshwater, most of which occurs near the water line where sunshine can get through. Periodic scrubbing is the only method I know of to effectively deal with this issue. Let us know if you find something that works well. Thanks.

I’m interested in resistance to slime, durability and ease in application. Here in Portland, Or we don’t haul out every year, so lasting over several seasons is important.

The yard is recommending Petit Ultima SR 60. Do any of you have experience or strong opinions about this paint. Our boat is in fresh water 99 % of the time. Other paint recommendations would be appreciated.
