To antifoul or not

[foxgoose]

Having lost over ten knots due to weed growth I've booked a quick instant lift out and pressure wash deal at the local yard.

Thought this might restore peformance for a couple of months till she comes out for annual service, anodes, antifouling etc.

Friend says lift out and wash deal is a waste of money 'cos pressure wash will take off antifouling and weed will be back in no time.

Anybody got experience?

Stop showing off......If I lost ten knots I'd be doing minus 4 !

The weed will be back. But in the meantime you'll have an extra 10 knots! The antifoul will only come off it's loose. Not that modern antifoul does much anyway.

My boat may leave a trail of dead fish behind it but there is on weed on the bottom.

I will give mine a coat of Burgundy Anitfoul - just to make it look nice when I recovery her onto the trailer. AF not needed at all if the baot is kept on a trailer. IMHO.
