    I've heard good things about the Vivid white. I don't have any personal experience with it though...

    E Paint .... Their white stays as white as possible . No copper so there is no yellowing effect and it works just as good as the high copper content stuff.

    I think the current bottom paint on mine is Micron CSC in shark white. It lasted 3 seasons with some touchups. It doesn't yellow. But you will notice a slight greenish tint when it's wet. I assume its copper in the paint.

    I can second Petit Vivid White. Used it for a few seasons on my 26 Southport CC. Loved it.

    I used Vivid Bright white on 2 boats and have been very pleased with its performance...

    I used to use the micron CSC shark white on my old boat and it would look like this after the season.

    My Parker I now use black Hydro Coat and love the stuff.

    what about black paint??

    What do you think about keeping it black? It is currently black but everyone keeps telling me to change it to white for tuna fishing...the boat did alright this year getting into them, but if white improves our chances then I will change it...

    Black with white squid.

    That is what I'm doing with the Parker this year, mainly because I have some white leftover from the other boat. Does it make a difference? Who knows.
