I live in Florida and have posed this question to different manufacturers and have not been able to get an answer. I leave my boat in salt water and for the last 2 years I have used Blue Water Marine Shelter Island bottom paint. I do not like it at all. It still allows barnacles slime and any other critter that wants to to stick on my pontoons. The ONLY thing it helps with is making them a little easier to scrape off. I want to change this year to a different manufacturer.
My question is: If you properly prime the pontoons so there is a primer barrier between the outer paint and pontoon what difference does it make what outer coating type paint you use. All of the paint manufacturers say to only use their version of Aluminum bottom paint which is always more expensive.
I would certainly appreciate any input or experiences you may have had. Thanks Bill L.
