And of course don't forget top ask what those docked around you are using.

Because ??

Because asking on a forum gets answers from all over the place. Asking locally gets answers as to what works best in your local waters. I use Interlux Micron Extra. It works great for me, but I'm in the Chesapeake 90% of the time and that paint might not work as well for what critters grow in Clearwater, FL.

I used it for years. It held up well: no bare spots and no excessive growth, but the waterline (in fresh water) looked terrible a week after application.

This year I switched to Petit, and the waterline has stayed noticeably cleaner. (again, fresh water) Too early to tell how it will hold up on the bottom though.
