Wayne,
I have used Hydrocoat on my Ocean Alexander trawler in Lake Michigan for
the last 4 years. Love the stuff. Easy to apply, easy clean up and no
noxious smell. Power wash the bottom at the end of the season all good. The
only bottom is at trawler speeds the paint doesn't seem to wear away like
an ablative paint should so some paint build up occurs.
