I used this brand a few years back, in fresh water and later moved my boat to the Chesapeake bay. I wasn't very impressed with it in either environment.
Pratical Sailor rated it very highly in a test of bottom paints. We just did our bottom with Copper Pro SCX Hard. It's only four months old though, so I'm afraid we can't give you long term performance data yet. Sure looks good though!

I have been using Micron 66 by interlux and am actually getting a full 3 years of excellent service from it. It is by far better than any previous bottom paints I have used. I have used it on the last 2 boats and this one for 6 years now. (original when purchased, after 3 years applied again and now on 3rd year. No barnacles. (a few here and there on water line that easily scrape off) and then have to do the prop and shaft 3 x a year. (scrapers)
