I am re-considering the idea of trailer sailing my boat this season. I didn't use it much last season except for my two cruises. When I hauled out I discovered that the bottom paint that I was using was absolute crap. I had so much soft growth on my bottom it was a lot of work to pressure wash it off.
If I splash it for the season it is only 6 months and then it is back onto the trailer. I would like to get a multi season out of my paint and I have yet to do it with the paint that I was using. Odd, because I had luck with it in the past (It was West Marine's premium ablative paint).
My area gets warm in the summer and it is high fouling.
Any suggestions on a reasonably priced paint that will work good? BTW...a gallon would last for a few coats on my Compac 23.
