I'm  surprised that more stinkpotters don't subscribe to Practical Sailor 
since the  demise of Powerboat Reports. Most everything published in PBR came 
from PS tests  anyway. PS  just finished a multi-year test of ablative and hard 
paints not too long ago.  Micron 66 was the best ablative. Don't remember what 
was best hard paint. Tests  were simultaneous in FL and CT as I recall.
 
We  have been using Micron Extra and are very pleased with it in fresh water, 
as  well as several months a year in the Chessie and in JAX, but will switch 
to 66  next time.
 
Regards,
