'IT'S THE ONE FOR ME'
Strengths:
In general one coat with a second for the leading edges & rudder. Goes on real easy with a roller and a brush for the corners and fiddly bits.
Weaknesses:
The price! So shop around (free kit with it).
Overall:
Do you really want to do a second coat all over? Logic says that with one coat you will use half as much as a two coat of a cheaper one, so is the cheap one the bargain you think it is?

'GREAT PAINT, EASY TO USE - VERY QUICK AND EASY TO DO SECOND '
Strengths:
good coverage, easy to use, covers well and drys quick enough for a second coat if you need it.
Weaknesses:
be careful of a summer scrub that the power wash does not blast the antifouling off, I did find some barnacles starting to grow on the hull after 7 months but they were very small in comparison with the ones on the props. Needs a fair bit of stirring as the first bit poured out after shaking the can a lot is thin then the sludge at the bottm is difficult to roll on, but it is good for a hand brush round the fiddly bits.
Overall:
Good, will use again
