I have been very pleased with Hydrocoat, moored in Salem Mass and in the water from mid May to mid October. No mid season cleaning yet when hauled, still very clean.

water based bottom paint
If the snow ever melts here in the northeast, I can finally get started on getting the boat ready. I've been using Interlux ACT as bottom paint for years and am wondering if I shouldn't switch to a water based paint - it's much easier to apply and I'm tired of applying bottom paint every season. What are people's experiences with water based paints here in the northeast? I was thinking of Pettit Hydrocoat. It's got to work - if there is one thing that's worse than applying bottom paint, it's scraping off barnacles at the end of the season
