Always looking to get free MPH's has anyone had any luck using these products such as Hyspeedcote, or Quick Craft - they claim to lower hull drag thus increasing speed & fuel efficiency. Do they work or is it a waste of money?

I got 1mph using vertglass on my baja. The boat planed much quicker and took much longer to come off plane

Snake Oil!!!!!!!!!!!

it wears off quickly, pain the ass if you ask me.

mine slid on and off the trailer a lot easier for about a month.

mine only lasted a week, at least I only noticed it for a week. I could feel a difference just from rubbing the bottom after taking it out once. It was a solid week of boating, maybe 20 hrs of actually running, the rest of the time sitting.

How would these products work in a racing application.
As long as they stayed on for the entire race.
We have been trying to find something for our tunnel boat.
1 mph for us could be the difference between 1st and 5th.
We had heard that 3M had made a product for NASA but it was not available to the general puplic, any suggestions on where to look at some of these products.

Grin

waste of money.
