Anyway I responded to the keel guard post awhile ago. It got me thinking of coating the whole hull of my Lund. So with my trusty iPad in hand I started searching and ran across a product called Wetlander it's listed as an airboat hull coating. It's suppose to make airboats not stick to the water or mud/ grass and dirt as its sliding across areas out of water.It's suppose to be strong and extremely slick , easy to apply and affordable.
Ok here comes the part that interested me, it reported to boasts a 10% increase in top end better hole shot and a 10% increase in full economy due to the reduced water adhesion as well as easier launching and loading of the boat.
Another maker is called hull speed which is used and endorsed by the bass pros ect....( ok I take the bass pro endorsement with a grain of salt).
Does anyone have any experience with hull coatings . I know claims and real life results tend to be different. But the cost to do my hull would be around $125.
Or is this just another one of the hyped gadgets that sound better than they perform
