Im doing a major structural repair on the bottom and side of a boat. Which epoxy is the best per dollar? West System seems to be the best, but is also the most expensive. Other epoxies such as Raka, System 3, MAS and Total Boat, all have great reviews and vary in price. I'll need approx 3 gallons. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have had very good luck with the Fasco epoxies. Lots of structural work.. stringers, prop pockets etc. predictable, not the cheapest but certainly not as expensive as West.
watch out for amine blush, happens with all epoxies. Wash the cured and sanded (finished) area throughly with soap and water before painting 👍
