Not available on the shelf here yet but I do highly endorse the Vivid.
I have a feeling that the trick with this stuff is you have to burnish it after it's dry to get a real speed benefit . And you probably cant put anything else over it afterwards unless you completely remove it . And sanding/burnishing the bottom of a boat aint fun !
If , however , its antifouling properties are as good as Vivid and there's a speed advantage it ought to be a winner in certain circles.
