Discover the Answers to Your Boat Questions

The frequency of bottom painting depends on boat usage, water conditions, and the type of antifouling paint used.

✔ Standard antifouling paint: Every 1-2 years

✔ High-performance paints (Ultra 300, SeaForce 90): Every 2-3 years

✔ Coppercoat: Every 10 years (with occasional touch-ups)

Boats stored in warm Caribbean waters with heavy marine growth should be repainted more frequently to prevent barnacle buildup.

The best antifouling paint depends on your boat speed, water conditions, and maintenance preferences.

✔ For high-speed boats (25-30 knots): International Ultra 300

✔ For fuel efficiency & smooth finishes: Jotun SeaForce 90

✔ For long-term protection (10 years): Coppercoat (Epoxy-based antifouling)

✔ For eco-friendly, copper-free solutions: Specialty hybrid coatings available upon request
