thanks for that. so actually when i get my boat antifouled, i should just request a hard antifouling paint that has epoxy in it in order to create a barrier coat? blisters are not a problem, but i want to be cautious and ensure that they stay not a problem! will such a barrier coat improve or decrease my boats speed in the water?
