Isn't there some sort of paint or coating that is supossed to cause less friction against the water than the gel coat? If so, have you ever used it? What are the reported gains?
Thanks, NB

Do a search on speed coat.

I did the search...I am assuming you wanted me to do that so I would save my money Sunds like more people are disappointed than happy with it. I tried the link to the product but it would not work... Thanks for the help.
