Salt water newbie. Newest project is a 22' alum. deck boat that's generally being trailered, but will spend a month or so sitting in a slip where it picks up a bunch of crud (based on previous experience with a pontoon boat). In an attempt to minimize clean up time, considering bottom paint, but I heard some bottom paint doesn't get along well with alum.? Would like to find something in white if available. Any help suggestions or experience regarding the best way to handle this?

Look for tin free and copper free antifouling paint.

Interlux Trilux33 is a good one, and comes in white..there are others also which may be less expensive.
