I tried the SR version of Hydrocoat after using the normal version for years. That year it didn’t work in the middle of the Chesapeake. I went back to normal and it was better. It appears the special versions of some of these paints are very good in certain conditions – only.
I was happy with ‘regular’ last year and will try again this year – never know.

More expensive. PETTIT PAINT Hydrocoat SR Dual-Biocide Ablative Antifouling Paint. Hydrocoat SR takes the proven formula of Hydrocoat and adds the slime inhibitor Irgarol for effective prevention of tough hard and soft growth.

It looked great at the survey after 2-ish years. I'm now in North Carolina in the Pamlico River. Had SeaHawk Biocop TF blue put on May 2017. I had the boat pulled last week to install a a PYI dripless stuffing box and cutlass bearing and the bottom still looks great. I've cleaned it in the water only 3 or 4 times (using scuba) and I've had a short pull and pressure wash twice in almost to two years. I'm in brackish water and in a creek that doesn't get a lot of current. Highly recommend it!

Last year was my first with ablative bottom paint and I used TotalBoat Underdog. Great reviews, but my experience in the Chesapeake Bay was that I had to be hauled and pressure washed by late summer, because I couldn’t get the engine above an idle. The barnacle growth was complete coverage of the prop and about 3” thick algae forest on the hull with heavy barnacle growth under it. I know last year was bad for growth on the bay, but I have to find something better this year.

Moor in a river with salt tidal water so there is a constant water movement. Temperature ranges from 55 in early spring to 70 in late August. Have used Pettit Hydrocoat SR with less than satisfactory results – much slime. Came across SeaHawk which by its claims looks promising.
