See some anti fouling paint for 49 a gallon...some for 140 a gallon

any difference? any recommendations on bottom painting? bottom was
power washed last year and all loose paint is off. no flakes, and
what's there is solid. can i just paint over it?


Yes, just paint over it after a bit of sanding to provide a rough
surface for adhesion.
Cheap vs expensive paint? Depends on how much fouling you get. If
you are in Florida and do not haul except every 4 years, go for the
expensive stuff. If you haul every year, got for the cheap stuff.
