bottom paint

[MIRELOS]

I'm so confused by reviews of bottom paints, depending on the site it's 5 stars or two......I'm looking at ablative paints for my cat, last used SkyHawk water based, it was a complete failure once I got to Florida, I've had good results with SkyHawk regular ablative but up north. I'm looking at the other brands, loved Pettit Trinidad hard paint when I had a monohull, I would get over 24 months out of it. I don't want to sand everything off so I'm staying with ablative....going south in the winter.....which paint to choose, hauling out at the end of August
btw...they are all relatively expensive so saving $20/gallon is unimportant, keeping growth at bay is important.
Thanks all
