Which bottom paint works for you?

Just out of curiosity, which bottom paints have worked on other PDQ’s? I had the APC 50 ablative paint out of the factory, and it lasted about 10 months (delivery trip, five months in Chesapeake, down the ICW and over to the Bahamas). I now have Interlux Micron Extra applied. I only had 18 months in...

I had two leaks on my boat. It was a messy but relatively easy job to remove and rebed, especially since James Parker , PDQ service rep, was in the neighborhood and the boat was still under warranty!

Decided

Thanks for your input.
Finally opted for a 15 hp Honda. Found one at Boats.Net, only place asking less than list.

2 Stroke vs 4 Stroke for dingy

Any opinion on which is better for a dingy? I'm leaning towards a 15 HP Yamaha 4 stroke, 99 pounds but only needs half the fuel. The dingy is a 10' 2" Avon RIB. Comments?
Also, where would you buy in Florida?

Watermakers
