What bottom paint-Hot miami summer

[jxm99]

Getting the boat hauled out and painted this week. Any suggestions on some good bottom paints that will help deter growth and make it easy to remove?

Also any suggestions for the props. Speed paint?

Thanks

My PO kept the boat in Miami (Palm Island) and used Pettit Trinidad SR and I decided to stay with it and it seems to hold up pretty well in our warm waters. I didn't go with prop speed or any other running gear coating because I don't put on enough hours to recover the potential fuel savings.

I strongly recommend you be present when the work is being done. I caught my yard using a cheaper grade paint. Next time I think I might use 2 different colors so I ca tell when the bottom paint is thinning and to insure there are in fact 2 compete coats.

Also make sure you have them service all your seacocks and bow thruster zincs.
