That's all well and good for you but there are too many reports of Coppercoat not working for people. I am not interested in rolling the dice on that product.

Yes, it's in the application - not hard but some people just manage to get things wrong. I reckon if you did a search on any antifouling paint, you'd find a lot more who said brand X or Y or Z etc didn't work for them. I suppose it's because Coppercoat is such a high profile, and a significant investment that people notice when a few mess up with it.

Anyway, good luck with your annual antifouling regime, it was just a suggestion to save you.

Forget all this BS.

31 ft? Two gallons!

You'll have enough for two coats and a bit more for the water line and leading edge of the keel and rudder. Work fast, spread it thin. Keep a little bit for the patches.

Do It! Then splash it.
