100 bucks is cheap. A good antifouling bottom paint for a boat can cost around $300 and topside or hull above the waterline can cost up to $400 a gallon. That’s why a boat is a hole in the water that you pour lots of money into.
We picked out a cheery green color at work called “Gleeful”. Then had to paint over it when the guys complained how bright it was – “If this color were a sound, my ears would be bleeding!”. We ended up with “Romaine”. :)
Sooo, it’s like they say with bears and campers, I don’t have to outrun the bear I just have to outrun you: I’m not really shallow as long as all my friends are shallower than I am. Got it.

Just buy a cheaper paint and tell your friends it is Julie Ostentatous designer collection. They won’t know the difference.

I laugh every time I see someone paying for a name.

Larry: When I was modeller at the Vancouver Maritime Museum, I got a very good anti-fouling red by thining Acryl-Red body putty and using it as paint.
