Search other threads here ... it's all about local knowledge. A paint that works 100 miles away might not work at your marina.
Some members here with freshwater boats have said that Micron CSC worked for them, but you really have to talk to other boaters and mechanics near you.
I am on the river and I just repainted with MicronCSC. I have a blue hull and they make a dark blue paint called Sea Ray Blue. Looks sharp on a navy blue hull.

I had a choice between VC17 and Micron CSC. VC17 is ablative right? I was worried it would need more maintenance each year than CSC, although I heard VC17 is easy to touch up.
VC-17 will last more than a year. Most redo it yearly...no sanding, just a clean bottom. Goes on easy too. I had the CSC before. What a disaster sanding to recoat. Horrible! 3qts does my 342.
Micron is ablative, so maintenance is easy. The only annual maintenance is pressure wash at winter haul-out. After 4 seasons, give it a good pressure wash, then light sand to scuff the surface before recoating. You don't have to remove the old paint.
But the easy maintenance is irrelevant if Micron doesn't work where you live.
