Botanical Gardens Or How fast is your boat at the moment.

Of course you all realize that the amount of marine growth on the bottom makes a difference so It leads to the following:
Am curious on how often do you clean the wet side of your boat?
And of how it affects the speed of your vessel?
Please note the WAG scale on how I feel it would affect your boat.

Ultra clean bottom 6+ kts
Average clean bottom 5+ kts
grassy bottom 4+ kts
botanical gardens on the bottom 2+ kts if you are lucky

So how does your garden grow???



WAG = Wild Ass Guess
