I'm thinking anyone who invents bottom paint that works for 30 years will quickly capture 100% of the market, then go out of business the following season.

Been using Trinidad since the real good stuff was banned. It works from Canada to the Bahamas.

Note that many states are advising that ablative paints not be cleaned by a diver. Here in Maryland a friend was told by a diver that he (the diver) could be in serious trouble if he was caught scrubbing a boat with ablative paint. Suggest you check your state regulations.
