The surface prep and the paint compatibilities are critical.
As Mike suggested, calling the Tech Help 800 # at Yachtpaint is the best way to get specific answers for their paints. They also know how their paints fair over other companies' paints, whether the prior paint needs to be removed or just a good sanding will suffice.

My water is about 1200ppm halfway up the Chesapeake Bay. If you are saltier than me then you might try 66...otherwise steer clear. It can flake off in hand sized flakes.

I actually hate to ask, since I should recall the answer from the discussion a couple of weeks ago, but, HEY, I'm getting old(er). In a couple of weeks I will be helping a friend paint the bottom on her new-to-her 29-2. My suggestion, based on my experience in our area, is to use Petit Ultima SR 60. But it seems that Micron might be significantly less expensive. And it might be more compatible over the Fiberglass Bottomkote that seems to be on the boat now. I recall a comment or two in the recent discussion that indicated that the two versions of Micron had different effectiveness in brackish water vs salt water. One worked better in salt water, the other was more effective in brackish/freshish water. The boat is going to be stored, and mostly sailed, in brackish to fresh water in the river that runs through town. So which version of Micron will work better here?
