Very interested in how the Ceramic Pro coating is holding up below the waterline.

This is absolutely amazeballs. i've skimmed through about half of the pages so far, and I'll be clicking through each of them while I'm at "work" tomorrow for sure!

Ok, I have been busy and not updating the thread for awhile. Between work, holidays, Miami boat show, ect. I have not had a lot of time to work on the boat but now I'm back on it full time.. we are making some major changes again...

I had the boat in the water at LOTO over Christmas break through new years. The Ceramic Pro coating seems to work pretty much like they said it would. The boat sat in the water for 3-4 days while we tested it and worked on it and when I pulled it out the scum line will wipe off with a dry towel. I hauled it back up to skater and you can pretty much just run your finger through the scum line and its gone.[ATTACH=CONFIG]566195[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566196[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566197[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566198[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566199[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566200[/ATTACH]

Tyson- we finally came out with our ceramic coating. Now that I've gotten more experience with it. Ceramics are the real deal!

May be a complete non issue, bit one thing that struck me looking at the picks of it sitting at the dock. Should something require attention while you are out in the middle of the pond and you wind up climbing in the bilge dead in the water, do you have a curtain setup on the engine hatches or something to not get swamped if it is stirred up out there??
