[C320-list] bottom paint

[Warren Updike]

Does anyone have experience with CopperCote?  They claim a 10 year life and more in cooler and less saline waters.  It's a resin-based product. Approved in CA.  Wow! Approved in CA, how good can it be?

   This year has been a bad year for slime for me.  Granted my boat
   wintered in the water 2011/2012 but I did a short haul this spring and
   had it power washed. There were very few barnacles probably due to the
   amount of slime on my bottom. In the spring of 2011 the yard used
   Pettit Horizons ablative bottom paint, this paint has no biocide.  I
   was wondering what paints has worked the best for others, especially if
   you keep your boat on the Chesapeake Bay.
