I hope my experience in brackish NC sound/rivers is similar. Tried it for first
time this past spring.

I know thissubject is as old as boats, but I think I commented in the spring
that I wastrying a brand new paint and would report in the fall, so here it is.
It israining and chilly and not much else going on in the NE, so . ..
The paintis Pettit Odyssey Trinidad, and when I hauled a week ago the results
were nothingless than amazing. All of the clubs haul out guys (and girl) were
in awe, andsaid it was the cleanest boat the have hauled this year.
There wassome scum from the bow back amidships and going down a few inches,
mostly onthe north side, oddly enough. But the rest was amazingly clean. Of
note, herein the Great Lakes over the last 10 years or so there has been some
new growththat no one seems to know anything about, looks like a spider web
growing allover the bottom, and there was NONE of that. No Zebra Mussels,
nothing.
It iscalled ablative, but it is nowhere near as ablative as the previous
year’spaint, very little came off with the pressure washer. Also, it called for
twoinitial coats, I only used one. It goes on nice, and what I liked is that
thereis no heavy copper falling out, you don’t seem to need to keep stirring it
asyou go. In fact, I don’t think it has copper as we know it, Three
Ingredients, CopperThiocyanate, Econea, and Zinc Pyrithione. I wouldn’t
consider it a racingpaint, but after a month, I might. One of the guys hauled
his First 40 out andcleaned it (VC17) for the last race two weeks before his
final haulout, and hisbottom was a mess, complete with ‘spiderwebs’ and Zebra
Mussels. He was amazedto see how much scum was back on 2 weeks later.
I think it’sthe Zinc . . . .Also, a $30 rebate going on.
