The Captain's Take
I've been using Interlux ULTRAKOTE for years, and it's simply the best antifouling paint I've found. The high-copper formula keeps my hull clean and free of growth, even in the most challenging waters. Plus, the fast-drying time means I can get back to what I love – being out on the water – sooner. I wouldn't trust my boat to anything else.
