Don't, repeat don't use antifoul paint inside the boat. It is poisonous.

If you want to paint the 'floors', then garage floor paint is very good. You can even buy some which do not have solvents but are water based.

Leyland might make some that you can use:

Equally, don't use floor paint on the outside of the hull. It won't work as anti-fouling for very long.

Was for the outside but as u say wont last long , how long does anti foul last will be going from wakering to chelmer n blackwater navigation where it will stay in water
 
I am not sure about antifouling on the East Coast, but it is normal to AF once a year. Go for quality paint, not the cheapest !

Depends on application, the product, existing substrate, etc...

Mine is done as and when needed. Some people like to do every year.

If I was you, i'd get a "trade" antifoul and that'll be ok. You can save lots of money by staying away from the big brands if you're looking to do it on the cheap so to speak.
 
Trade sounds better !
Any makes inmind to. Look for ?
Also does it have to go strat in the water or can it be left out as doing a refit
