Anybody dumping Roundup in to their bottom paint and the waters in which we
sail should be taken out to the barn and shot. Dumping a witches brew of
anti biotics into these same waters is similarly ignorant IMO. Complain
about the EPA all you like, but someone needs to take on the unenviable
task of protecting the rest of us and our sailing waters from the ill
informed and questionably intentioned. My 2 cents.

You want the stuff to perform as designed.. You apply it as prescribed. If
the tetracycline was as effective as claimed, it would be in the paint from
the factory.
BTW, My burnished Trinidad Pro is still pristine (I check it regularly when
we swim) after being constantly in the water 1.5 years. It's not real long
yet but that is 1.5 years continuous. My competition scrubs their VC-17
bottom every week, I scrub it never yet we're fast enough to consistently
show-up on the podium despite our inexperienced team's frequent mistakes
and my old bedsheet sails. :-)

I think any drug like " tetracycline" will kill lots of germs and bacteria
but will dissolve so fast in water, it will be gone in a few days. I
wouldn't add anything to bottom paint for fear of jeopardizing the adhesion
and slow release of it's own toxins. I've heard of people mixing in "Round
Up" and I've heard the same people complain that their paint flaked off
during haulout. I ask them if they sanded with 80 grit paper before
painting as directed, and can tell by their confused expression, they never
read the directions.
I respect the guys who write the application instructions, follow those as
close as I can and I've enjoyed great success.
I understand your frustration with VC-17. I used VC-Offshore for 8 years
and got fed up with the fouling. Had to clean the bottom each week to stay
ahead of it. Used a piece of carpet and sometimes a 3M pad. Switched to a
better paint, Micron 66, and love it. Kept the boat in all winter and the
fouling looked pretty bad this May. All the boats in y marina had a fur
attached to their hulls. I was surprised how easy it came off easily with a
soft deck brush, and very little pressure. Micron 66 is designed for Salt
Water and Fresh Water requires "Micron Extra" I think. Both can be
burnished, but the paint goes on very smooth as is, and by design gets
smoother as it ablates. They are multi season hard abatives.
