VC17 Alternative

VC 17 is no longer available in Canada, not sure if it's available in the states. Has anyone come up with an alternative? That's easy to apply without too much hard work?

Thanks, Rich.

Rich, the latest from Interlux regarding over-coating existing VC 17 bottoms:

VC Offshore combines superior antifouling performance with a super smooth low friction surface for the performance conscious boater. VC Offshore is further enhanced by the addition of Teflon. Matte finish, 3 coat application. VC17 Overcoating Instructions: Wet sand the aged VC 17m with 120 grit sandpaper and remove sand residue from the surface , Overcoat with three coats of VC Offshore.

HI Rich,  We still have it here in the US.  Last fall I bought a case of it in Michigan.  It might be worth a trip to the Port Huron West Marine.

Best of Luck

John
