This spring I'm going to put a barrier coat on the bottom and then an anti-fouling paint over that.
It looks like the bottom is somewhere around 175 sq. ft., but that is a rough estimate. It looks like the epoxy barrier coats cover about 200 square feet and the bottom paints about 400 square feet.
For the Barrier Paint I'm looking at either....
Sea Hawk Tuff Stuff High-Build Epoxy Primer

I like the 2 coat aspect and cost of the above and the application time windows.
or use............
Pettit 4700 Protect Barrier Coat

They want you to use 3 coats of this stuff.
========================================
For the bottom paint I thinking of using either ....
Pettit Ultima SR-40 Dual Biocide Ablative
http://www.defender.com/product.jsp...11000|311497|368327&id=1125440&cartId=1588213
or.....
West Marine PCA Gold Antifouling Paint with Irgarol
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...=true&storeNum=44&subdeptNum=229&classNum=229
From what I read they are suppose to be the same paint and Pettit packages the PCA for West Marine.
I'd like to get the bottom paint in black and blue. I'd put 2 coats of black all the way up to the top of the waterline and then a third coat in that area. Then come up to the bottom of the water line with the blue. This would use the black for the waterline (I want it a little higer than the present one--guess why ). Then when the blue wears through to the black re-coat with more blue.
===========================
So the question is how many gallons of barrier paint did you use and how many coats and the brand for your S or D?
How many gallons did you use for a bottom paint and how many coats and what brand?
Thanks and throw out any other thoughts you might have,
