They loved it and so do I! I asked for this to be applied to my Bavaria last year when we purchased her as JFM uses it and that was enough for me. It’s been great and we will definitely get 2 years out of it.

I applied 3 layers to my 47 feet mobo 2 years ago. My boat usually stays at the berth for many weeks, followed by lots of pootling and some fast cruising as well. After 2 years, I took out for drydock and it seemed like it can easily make another year. The bottom was fully clean. The sad thing is, Micron 77 is now replaced with Micron 99. The producer claims it to be even better than 77 but I don’t think that the reality is so. The producers are more and more squeezed by ever tightening EU environmental rules and each new coming antifoul is less effective than the previous one. I bought the last cans of M77 from my supplier and I am on the safe side for two more years. In the meantime we will see if the new comers are really as good as they claim.

Yup. When I lift my boat the bottom is totally clean. I mean totally. Like it was jetwashed 5 mins ago. I've used it for years as has MYAG.

I want it to erode and would never use anything else.

Next week I lift my boat after the first year of m99 rather than m77. I'll report back with pictures.

Where can you buy the Micron 99 please? None of the retail places lists it, even Aquafax. I’ve been looking for an outlet. Maybe I’ll have to set up a 'marine paint shop business'...
