I am getting ready to purchase bottom paint for our new boat (hope to settle this week). We are purchasing a 290AJ and will need 2 gallons for 2 coats. We are in a toss up with 3 different paints. Price on all 3 are almost the same so that isn't really a factor. Can anybody give me any insight on these paints? We will be using the boat in the Chesapeake Bay.
I have seen a fair amount of reviews on the first two paints and most were positive. I haven't seen paint 3 reviewed much but the reviews I saw were very mixed even though it contains the highest Cuprous Oxide content
Paint #1: West Marine PCA Gold $129.99 per gallon 40% Cuprous Oxide w/Irgarol

Paint #2: Pettit Hydrocoat $109.99 per gallon 40% Coprous Oxide

Paint #3: Pettit Horizons $119.99 per gallon 47.5% Coprous Oxide

Thank you in advance for your help,
