How does marine paint differ from regular paint?

Question

I have a fiberglass boat that needs a paint job. what is the difference?

Answer 1

Marine paint has an antifowling which helps to stop marine grouth to statr attacking your hull.  It is also more receptable to the harsh wet enviroment.

Answer 2

The main difference is marine paint includes compounds to discourage plant and animal life from attaching to it.  That way you won't have a barnacle covered hull near as quickly.
