I'm not against seeing powerboat pics- for me I really like the before & after, and the worse before is, and the nicer after is, the better
I hope you're not eating

Re: Bottom paint for WA state

I don't know what happened. 3 months ago I was cruising at 20+mph. Then I left for a couple weekends on vacation and when I came back the engines (800hp diesel) struggled to reach 9mph.

It grew on like a carpet. The soft ablative got covered by some kind of mossy fine grass and everything else grew on top of that. 99% of it just falls right off in giant chunks.
