Question Rustoleum for marine use?

According to a recent posting on the Sabre Yahoo Group, there is a new version of Rustoleum out, intended specially for marine use. Anybody seen or have any experience with this?

Aaargh, I haven't used it meself, but what a salty provenance it has:
http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGBrand.asp?bid=13

"Withstand even the harshest above- and below-waterline environments with Rust-Oleum Marine Coatings, initially formulated by Captain Robert Fergusson during a high-seas adventure more than 80 years ago.
* Easy to apply
* Superior coverage and color retention
* Long-lasting protection against the elements"

Shiver me timbers but there's nothing like a high-seas adventure to make a great paint-formulation story, eh? (And how convenient that this particular high-seas adventure did NOT apparently include lead in the formula.) Looks like it might have been out a few years.

That must be the product to which the poster referred.

Hmm, they sell a bottom paint as well? I didn't know that!

Aside to all those who would care to notice, for a stodgy old company, that's a pretty glitzy website they have.
