TotalBoat JD Select: Cost-Effective, Water-Based Antifouling Paint with Full-Season Protection
Simple soap & water cleanup makes the job easier.
It’s no fun scraping barnacles and other crusty critters off your boat bottom, much less shelling out a lot of clams for someone else to do it. TotalBoat JD Select hybrid water-based ablative antifouling bottom paint contains a medium copper biocide load to prevent barnacles from making your hull their home—for a full season. Its ablative properties are designed to help shed slime, while preventing paint buildup on the surface. JD Select is easy to apply by brush, roller, or spraying. Its unique water-based formula also cleans up easily with soap and water. Better for you, better for the marine environment.
Medium copper content keeps barnacles at bay in low to moderate fouling waters—often with just a single coat.
TotalBoat JD Select has low VOCs and low odor, so it doesn’t stink like solvent-based bottom paint. JD Select uses water in place of a solvent, so when the water evaporates, the resin hardens, leaving this antifouling paint as effective as any solvent-based bottom paint with medium copper content. Because of its high-solids content, one coat is usually all you need for full-season protection.
Number 7)- TotalBoat Spartan
High-copper bottom paint delivers controlled-release protection for multiple seasons in all waters and fouling conditions. This self-polishing ablative provides a smooth, abrasion-resistant finish for greater fuel efficiency. For fiberglass, wood, and steel hulls.

- Biolux technology blocks slime and improves antifouling performance
- Long-lasting protection against all types of fouling
- Suitable for use on all boats in all waters
Number 1)- TotalBoat Krypton
TotalBoat Krypton is a copper-free antifouling paint that provides effective single-season protection from barnacles, algae, and slime fouling on fiberglass, wood, steel, iron, and aluminum boats & aluminum pontoons in salt, fresh, and brackish waters. Copper-free formula is brighter in color, safe for underwater metals, and great for areas that restrict the use of copper-based bottom paints.
TotalBoat Krypton copper-free ablative antifouling bottom paint
TotalBoat Krypton has the most effective concentration of organic biocide to repel barnacles & zebra mussels, plus zinc to combat slime & algae.
Easy application, fast-drying formula, and great coverage take the pain out of bottom painting.
TotalBoat Krypton self-polishing antifouling bottom paint battles barnacles and slime with a potent, dual-biocide formula for full-season protection. Being copper-free, Krypton won’t cause galvanic corrosion. It’s safe for properly prepared aluminum, steel & underwater metals, making it ideal for aluminum boats, aluminum pontoons, trim tabs, brackets, outdrives & more. Instead of copper (cuprous oxide) biocide, Krypton contains a potent organic biocide that’s very effective, and cost-effective—a little goes a long way. In fact, paints with about 6% organic biocide have shown protection comparable to more expensive bottom paints loaded with 50% copper. As your boat moves through the water, Krypton’s ablative formula releases biocides at a controlled rate to keep the bottom clean. When released, the organic biocide breaks down quickly into biodegradable byproducts, so Krypton is safer for fragile marine ecosystems. No copper also means brighter paint colors & no patina at the waterline!
Maximum adhesion on properly prepared fiberglass, wood, aluminum, steel, iron, and previously painted surfaces in good condition—even copper-based and water-based paints.
Krypton may be applied by brushing, rolling, or spraying directly over most paints in good condition, and properly primed surfaces. Apply 1-2 coats of Krypton as directed, with an extra coat on primary areas of wear, such as the leading edges of skegs, rudders, and keels.
Pros:
- COPPER-FREE, ECO-FRIENDLY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE MARINE ANTIFOULING BOAT BOTTOM PAINT provides superior single-season protection against barnacles, weeds, algae & slime.
- KRYPTON CAN BE APPLIED TO FIBERGLASS, WOOD, STEEL, IRON & ALUMINUM BOATS. Bottom paints are for use below the waterline only.
- BRIGHT COLORS ARE MORE VIBRANT THAN BOTTOM PAINTS CONTAINING COPPER BIOCIDE.
- EASY TO APPLY BY BRUSH, ROLLER, OR SPRAYING: For brushing, use a high-quality, natural bristle brush; for rolling, use a 3/16” nap or foam solvent-safe roller cover. Copolymer formula means that after application, there’s no maximum dry time to launch. So you can paint in the fall, store for the winter, and launch in the spring! You can also haul and relaunch without losing the effectiveness of the biocide.
- AVAILABLE IN FIVE BRIGHT, VIBRANT COLORS: Blue (Quart & Gallon), Black (Quart & Gallon), White (Quart & Gallon), Green (Gallon only), and Red (Gallon only). Coverage: 500 sq. ft. per gallon.
