Consider barrier coat under the anti fouling.

Hmm, sadness. I will be in salt water in Bodega Bay. Water is always about 52 degrees. OK, I will inquire about bottom paint for the boat.

No more than two or three weeks if in salt water.
If in freshwater it depends on the local conditions. Have Sage 17s in freshwater around the country that require paint not only because the boat would have feet of growth on the bottom, but because of zebra mussels.
Discuss with boat owners and yards at the marina you will be keeping the boat. Local conditions require local behaviour. This includes the type of bottom paint you use as some brands work better than others in different bodies of water and sometimes even in different marinas on the same bodies of water.

Montypals:
I am currently building a SCAMP sailboat, so I have had to move my Monty over to a friend’s house for now. That got me to thinking that maybe now is the time to put the Monty in a slip at the local harbor. I don’t have any antifouling paint on the bottom of the boat. Would the boat be OK for 3-4 months that way?
