I am hauling out for a bottom job and other work this month. Anyone have a "favorite" bottom paint for Southern CA waters?

I can verify brand when I'm at the boat tomorrow, but think ultralux ultra is what Shelter Island Boat Yard recommended.

Thx. My yard, Driscoll Sheller Island, is suggesting Pettit "Protector." Anyone out there have experience with it? Could use a review.

Noah,
I have used Interlux Ultra both times I've done the bottom, mainly because that's what was on it, according to PO records.
I've also used both Shelter Island Boat Yard and Driscol on Shelter Island and prefer and recommend Driscol over the other. They did 2 coats on the bottom and a third at the water line.
My diver uses a carpet pad to brush off the growth to prolong the paint.
