I recall seeing one of those systems on a large powerboat in Erie, it had been brought up from the Caribbean. It probably did no good in fresh water, I think they are suppose to reduce the incidence of barnacles. Makes little ticking noises on the hull . I am guessing for our use it is kind of looking for the Holy Grail.

My Awlgrip is 20+ yrs old and only blemished b/w the Boot and Cove stripes. I'm looking into for my old girl.

But here on the prairie in southern IL, we don't have the expertise and labor is cheaper. But I agree, if the labor is going to be costly, then it makes sense to go first class with the paint. I may end up having to just roll and tip and get one of those 10ft paint jobs (where it looks good from 10ft away).

The paint was less than 12% of the total cost. Labor, prep, etc. dwarfed the paint cost. Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
