Hi all

Well I am picking up my new to me boat shortly and I had the use of my fathers boat house wilt a lift but have been recently informed he is in the process of selling his home and moving back into town. Seems about right with my luck so now my best option is to slip it for the season. Trailering really is not an option.

I normally do not like leaving them in and I am not a big fan of bottom paints. Is there any products out there that can be applied to the bottom to help reduce bottom growth that is not a paint, maybe a specialty wax?

Thanks
Mat

No.

You can find some clear bottom coats that might buy you a couple of weeks worth of time if you can run it hard/fast regularly (which cleans it), and can pull the boat and re-apply it monthly (and that is PUSHING IT).

You are seeking the mythical product known as clear bottom anti-fouling protection... sought by boaters for years... and it just... ain't... out there.
