I used Micron Extra. I keep Seafrog in saltwater 10 months straight per year. I pull her out after 5 months. Looked great. I agree with Bones. You can recoat with the same bottom paint as long as it is the same product. I like the ablative paint which flakes off during the time the boat is in the water thus shedding the nasties. I don't know if you use ablative paints in fresh water. But there are a gazillion sites out there with great advice.

Hi John,

I have Micron CSC on the M17, and Awlgrip All-star on the M23.

Both seem to be fabulous, although far from inexpensive.

Both boats are trailered and sailed in fresh water.

I have been led to believe that unless you remove all the previous bottom paint, recoating should be done with the same product.

For what it is worth.

Later,

Bones
