"I received a request from one
"I received a request from one of my accounts to begin offering the underwater gear coating "PropSpeed" so they can offer it as an option to their dealers on their IPS powered boats.
This request was prompted by one of their international dealers who swears by it and wants it on all of their new boats.
The product's US importer is trying to encourage me to become a distributor/application center.
All of the press reports I read are impressive, in fact Volvo published a service bulletin endorsing the product. My grandfather used to say "That paper will sit there while they write anything on it". What experience do you guys have with it, good or bad?
Most of the complaints I have heard involve it coming off. The application process is pretty involved and very specific. Everyone I have talked to who had a problem with adhesion has either skipped a step or two, or run aground and scrubbed it off.
The product is very expensive, but if it works like they reports claim, it will pay for itself in fuel savings and give increased speed.
I am looking for unbiased first hand experience. Please let me know what you think of it.
For those not familiar with it, here is the link to the US importers website.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
