Best Bottom Paint, Very Little Current Area & Yamaha 4 Stroke Mobile Mech

Strangegill88

OK, so it's that time of year again. I need to haul the boat again and have the bottom done at Murrells in Lantana. Went with a recommendation from my neighbor last year and have had a lot of Algae on the bottom lately. It's certainly easier to get off than barnacles, but still quite a lot of it when I didn't use the boat for a while due to wife's illness. I'm in the water and the current isn't very strong back behind Hypoluxo Island north of Lantana Ocean Ave. Any recommendations for a great bottom paint? I'm hoping to use the boat a lot more.
Also, need someone to do a yearly maintenance on the twin Yam 115 4 Strokes. It wasn't necessary last year as previous owner had just had it done when I bought the boat. I certainly haven't used it much since then, 20 to 30 hrs since Sept last year, but I don't want to take any chances and want to make sure any nec maint is done now while I have it pulled out of the water. My old mobile guy was better w/ OMC and Merc 2 Strokes, so I'd be more comfortable w/ a cert Yam 4 stroke guy.

Any help and recommendations greatly appreciated.

Tight lines,

Salyers Marine has a guy named Greg frankhouse. My dad and I have been using him for 15+ years. He is "the man" and soo nice. Doesn't take BS but knows his stuff. Certified Yami guy. I recently bought a boat with Suzukis on it and made him do the service on it.

I agree, Dan Salyers is my guy and does a great job on my Yamaha F250's. He comes highly recommended in the Jupiter area. Good luck.

Yes dan and Greg are the way.

For paint I was Vivid for a few years and was happy with it but still got non shell growth that had to be scrubbed off and some barnacles but not bad. Easy to clean off though.
Last year it went up to $229/gallon and WM had their PPC on sale for $99 after rebate so I figured I could paint 2.3 times for the same money. Turns out it has antislime and algae stuff in it and is MUCH better for me. My Regulator for sale has hardly moved in 3 months and took it to scrape the bottom and there was nothing on it where the paint was good. No grass, no slime no barnacles. I put it on my new to me WOrldCat and nothing grows on it.

Where I am has a little bit of current and is very high fouling.
