Comments about West Marine PCA Gold Antifouling Paint with Irgarol:
Easy application and very good protection. We haul each year so the paint has to protect for only one full season, that said we share the hardstand with plenty of boats who's bottom paint gives up! PCA has worked consistently well for us in the semi-difficult conditions (85-degree plus) conditions of the Chesapeake Bay. The slime protection is unimpressive, but so too is it on the neighboring boats on the hardstand, regardless of paint manufacturer. I highly recommend this paint for great protection at a (bit) more reasonable price than the OEM paints.
