Most bottom-paint advice assumes a northern winter, when boats come out and growth stops.
South Florida doesn't work that way. Warm water keeps fouling pressure high all year, so repaint intervals often run shorter here.
Match paint to use: ablative suits boats that sit between trips; hard paint resists abrasion on boats that run often.
