+ 1 on Petit Trinidad. It is the #1 recommended paint for overall
effectiveness / durability in these here parts.. I'm not in salt water
(But I am in a warm climate that is very conducive to slime) so far (1
year) it lives up to the hype and the bottom is completely slime / growth
free / smooth / fast.
Trinidad is not an ablative, it's modified epoxy hard paint that burnishes
to a really smooth finish if you're so inclined (And your rotator cuffs can
stand the abuse.. OUCH). I am told that if you are in an area where you
have to haul-out in the winter, a light sanding or bronze wool burnishing
in the spring will re-activate / supercharge the growth killing copper
action.

I used the Micron ablative paints in South Florida about 11 years ago.
They're not good for the subtropics. Growth is quick, and the bottom is
near impossible to clean in the water, unless you like being covered in
toxic chemicals. Petite Trinidad is the way to go here.
