:readinghelp:

I guess this may be one of those few time that I have to admit in public "i was wrong" Actually this make sence, and I can see how it would work. I don't think I'm gunn run out and do my boat. Call me crazy, but i like mine to shine and be clean. The stuff really is ugly.

Here is a rather in depth article written by a Lockheed Martin engineer on whether to have a smooth or rough hull surface. The results may surprise you. To Wax or Not to Wax
