I currently own a 2003 38 Open and have been using Pettit's Ultima SR 40 for many, many years (more than 15) and it has always performed extremely good. We live on Long Island and the boat is slipped at a marina on Long Island Sound.... The boat remains in the water for 2 years between short hauls and the bottom stays black with no growth (very little growth on the running gear) after the 2 years being in the water... Will be hauling the boat this spring for bottom painting, Zinc's, etc and don't expect anything different..... Been very pleased with it's performance to date.. I've been considering a change to Pettit's Horizons SR (water base) but have been slow to do so as the Ultima SR40 performs so good.... Was in contact with Tech Support at Pettit paints and they stated both are excellent ablative bottom paints...M2C
