High copper content provides long-term protection against severe bottom fouling.
Ultra-Kote hard antifouling paint is heavily loaded with cuprous oxide for maximum performance in severe fouling conditions. The modified epoxy formula results in a durable finish with excellent color stability. This durable finish stands up to abrasion and when needed, periodic scrubbing by a diver. Ultra-Kote is also low in VOCs, which minimizes its impact on the environment; and it dries quickly so you can paint and launch on the same day. Ultra-Kote is a great choice for fiberglass, steel, and wood boats in brackish or salt water. We offer Ultra-Kote in Red, Blue, Green and Black.

Another way to determine bottom paint quantity is to estimate the approximate surface area of the hull below the waterline, using the following formula:
Length x Beam x .75 = Approximate underwater surface area in square feet.
Each paint has a “theoretical coverage” area, but most paints require at least two coats, so you can expect actual coverage to be no greater than half of the theoretical value.
