Rob, I've used CSC since I moved out here from Ontario nine years ago,(wow, has it been that long already) and I'm totally satisfied with the results. I get some slime the last half of the season but it cleans off very easily with a pressure washer. I've put a full coat on every two years and do 6" down from the waterline, the leading edge of the keel and the entire rudder every year. I probably could have went three years between full coats but I wouldn't push it for four. My boat sat most of the year and besides the usual slime the bottom was clean. Some other boats that also sat but had cheaper bottom paint were full of sea squirts, barnacles, mussels and grass, you definitely get what you pay for with antifouling. In your case I think it was definitely Rich's voodoo curse.

And there is Micron CSC under the 66. I saw a boat hauled yesterday with CSC paint that lies about 200 feet from my boat in the mooring field and not one barnacle that I could see on the bottom......a few on prop and shaft but not many. Next Spring will see a 'fresh coat'......just not sure what paint it will be. I think Rich Knowles, out of Nanimo, B.C. , is still having 'prayer meetings' directing the marine growth to my boat and not all the others.
