Interlux brand have an ablative called Performance epoxy which was made for fiberglass hulled racers that stay in the water, and they have a non-ablative called VC performance epoxy which does not have any anti fouling qualities but is a great paint for trailered boats. Pettit also makes a product called VIVID which i hear is good paint also. All these paints mentioned come in many colors.
I painted the ALBEMARLE with brightside by Interlux on the sides it has held up well which leads me to the point while doing my research on brightside, interlux said you can paint your bottom with it but your boat truelly limited on how long it can stay in the water, I dont trust it. Its seem to soft to paint bottom side with.
