Hello everyone, it has been some time since I last made a post on here but I still enjoy reading the post everyone provides. Always a wealth of information on here. That being said, I'm hoping that someone can provide the information I'm looking for.

So, I have an old 65 Trojan Sea Breaze (Whiskey Girl) which I love to death. Over the last few years I've put some valuable time in her, since I took her over, I have been using Interlux BottomKote in the Red form for her underbelly. Now I'm finding out that it has be discontinued and I cannot find it anyplace. I don't want to change the bottom color and I don't want to go through the labor intensive process of stripper her again because there isn't anything compatible. I surely don't want to go with a hard paint. I like the ablative stuff and it works for me.

So, does anyone have any recommendation for my old girl or a comparable ablative paint???

thanks in advance.....

I see they list Fiberglass bottomkoat NT on there site and list red . That maybe the replacement ? I know they have called it Fiberglass bottomkoat for a very long time even thought its good for wood too . I used to use on my Owens 35 years ago . West marine ablative paints work well and are available in red . Pettit has horizons Its a good paint . I don't believe you will have a issue switching brands . I never have had a problem .

Thanks for the response "Prowlerfish". I really appreciate the information. Here's to hoping I don't screw her bottom up. Again, thanks.
