Hey!!
Opinions or tips from best antifouling to a boat that runs 60 or little over?? Just a wax is not an option because do not want to lift it several times and clean the bottom.....

Aargh , the topic everyone hates .. .
I'm sure you're gonna get 20 replies convincing you to get a lift of some sort but no doubt that option doesn't exist for where you are.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record I will again recommend Pettit Vivid . I've got about 55 years in with every imaginable type of bottom paint , many no longer with us , and the best on the market IMO is currently Pettit Vivid. I've used both the white and the black , and I've been through pretty much every brand of white since the later 60's including those no longer available that contained tin .
Not sure about spraying but if your bottom is new and fresh with a bit of care and the right prep and brushing technique you ought to be able to get a finish that will damage your overall speed minimally . Unlike other soft or semi soft ablatives I've seen that get somewhat rough as they ablate the Vivid stays smooth. Its antifouling properties are also excellent. At least they are in warm very salty water .
