June 1, 2002

If you're like a lot of boatowners, you're probably looking for a way to get rid of the slimy growth that accumulates on your hull. West Marine and Interlux have developed two new antifouling paints to solve your dilemma: the Ultra Plus and CSC Plus ($44.99-$54.99 per quart). The secret ingredient? A potent combination of copper biocide and Biolux. The Biolux blocks slime and algae growth, while the biocide acts as a repellent. The result? Less time spent scrubbing your boat's bottom, and more time on the boat.
