Does anyone use bottom paints for freshwater that don't contain the
toxins necessary in salt water?
What do you use
o for fiberglass
o for wood
o for steel
and how have they worked?

For the last three years I have used Hard Racing from International
Paints (I think) on a fiber glass hull, on lake geneva, & it has
been excellent. For the last two years I have only had to sponge
off the green slime, but no weeds at all, & the boat is in the water
all year round.
However next week, I'm going to do the A/F again, & look out for
the dreaded pox, which I am told 80% of softwater boats suffer
from....

re -1, that's just the point. I would prefer NOT to pollute Lake
Champlain with the toxins built into marine paints. There's a reason
nothing grows on your hull...
