Ok need a little advice, 30’ fiberglass catamaran houseboat, non planening hull 10 knots. Boat stay’s in slightly on the salty side of brackish h20 and is very Tanic. Constant current on a small creek.

Boat is wet April/Nov and is on trailer the rest of the year and is splashed approximently once a month Dec/March for brief 3/4/day excursions.

Not so much what brand more what kind of pain would be applicable?

Thanks for any help!!!

I would use an ablative paint
based on location, you probably dont have heavy growth, so most brand, even the cheaper stuff will work. i would still suggest cleaning the hull every month.

Would that be considered a hard paint?

I second the ablative paint, and no it is not considered a hard paint. Designed to wear off slowly throughout its life.
