Imron is a great product. I distribute Imron, Spies, and Standox. My expieriance with Imron on my old boat did not make a season below the water line Standox after 3 years looked like the day we painted it.

Imron is also more difficult to buff for runs, dirt, etc.

Donzi switched to PPG in 2006 due to delamination problems.
I have painted boats and cleared them with PPG 890 clear very durable have had no problems so far.Just my opinion.

Spies Hecker will hold up better than the domestic paint products. If you trust it on your work in the body shop you can trust it on your boat.

My last boat looked like the day we painted it 3 years later even below the water line.
My 2 pennys.
