I just hauled out for the first time in two years (I hate to confess). I used Petit Ultima red bottom paint and I had NO barnacles on the fiberglass and no slime on the bottom. It was really good for this part of the Chesapeake. All other metal parts were covered in large barnacles except for the props. Barnacleblok really works well!! I only used the boat about three times last year and still had no barnacles on the props (I know - it was a really bad year - this year will be different). The boatyard guys were amazed. Otherwise the boat ran great. Can't wait to splash it next week!!! Rawleigh
