Jack:
Some of the 'sport boats' at our club don't use any antifouling paint
and haul regularly with our 5 ton crane to clean ....by regularly,
probably monthly.
You say you have a monthly scrubbing by a diver....why bother with an
antifouling paint with a monthly scrubbing?

I have had Trinidad on the bottom for three years without a haulout,
but with monthly scrubbing by a diver. It still has plenty of
potency. I figure I will haul at around five years.

Currently have Petit Vivid on our boat. Am assuming is much the same
as Micron CSC in its use and anti fouling effectiveness

+ 1 on Petit Trinidad. It is the #1 recommended paint for overall
effectiveness / durability in these here parts.. I'm not in salt
water (But I am in a warm climate that is very conducive to slime) so
far (1 year) it lives up to the hype and the bottom is completely
slime / growth free / smooth / fast.
Trinidad is not an ablative, it's modified epoxy hard paint that
burnishes to a really smooth finish if you're so inclined (And your
rotator cuffs can stand the abuse.. OUCH). I am told that if you are
in an area where you have to haul-out in the winter, a light sanding
or bronze wool burnishing in the spring will re-activate / supercharge
the growth killing copper action.

I used the Micron ablative paints in South Florida about 11 years ago.
They're not good for the subtropics. Growth is quick, and the bottom
is near impossible to clean in the water, unless you like being
covered in toxic chemicals. Petite Trinidad is the way to go here.
