[Rhodes22-list] Bottom paint

I was advised by Interlux that unless the boat is left in the water and used
regularly you are best to use the hard anti-fouling rather than the
ablative. For the ablative to work it needs to be worn down by the action of
the water. In my case the boat is in the water (fresh) all season but seldom
used so the hard paint was recommended.

Ted,

That's the same paint Stan used on my recycled back in 2005 and the same
paint the marine shop recommended and just used on my boat last week.  I
told the shop that I leave my boat in the water and they said Trinidad was
top-of-the-line for hard nonablative paint.

I'm still confused over ablative versus nonablative.  Is ablative for fast
powerboats and boats stored out of the water?  If you trailer your Rhodes
and keep it out of the water, I think nonablative paint dries and no longer
leeches out the copper, or whatever it leeches out.
