Another new ( too me ) product I found today

Picking up parts today and found another interesting product being demo'ed; thought I would pass it on

Propspeed USA

I have no ties to this product, just thought it was a good alternative to other prop and below water metal coatings

I can recomend the stuff. I have had it (propspeed aka prop-goo) for a couple of years in the tropics on a folding prop. Expensive and must be applied as per instructions yada yada but it is good.

Maybe presented would have been a better choice of word.

neat stuff though; I don't care about the extra 3kts but fuel savings and keeping the prop fresh is a plus

I might have to give that Propspeed stuff a try.

Propspeed is widely used in NZ with a very good reputation. Haven't used it myself - haven't found a need to spend that much money.

Hey, port a call San Carlos Mexico, what a blast! I'd still be there were it not for that crap called money Sailingdog, Smack and CharlieCobra said sailing was cheap! Hell, with my beer cost I could've refueled the Queen Mary I'll have to sit down with my log and assemble something. With my kind of bar tab, I'm back in Texas and just planted 4600 grape vines sooo my sailing will be limited to winter months.
