am I wise

I'm seriously thinking about having 15 years of international high speed anti foul slurry blasted from by bottom and getting it coated with a product called speed liner designed for the cargo part of pickups. I rekon is should last years without any more than a good scrub. it has been used on ships with great success ( so I have been told !) I have seen it used on ribs which were kept in sea water and were spotless after two seasons dispite beech landings and general abuse.
I have tested speed liner, stanley knives to hammers I simply cannot find fault.
finishes vary from gloss to a stipple type which would equate to what a rolled anti foul finish would be like. A gloss finish should cut any water friction helping performance and economy.
I hope someone out there has tried this or a similar product and can supply results.

Sounds interesting Derek. I know nothing about it - but would be very keen to hear your views after use.

My next door neighbour has the N.I. agency and is keen experiment. His costings work out about three times the price of high speed international. I don't think I am willing to take the risk so I have got my hands on an old piece of a hull we are going to treat it and hang it in the marina for the season. Watch this space I will post my results in September.If it is good I will give it a go next year.
