Re: Antifouling Wax
Last season I tried EZ-on-Bottom on one half the hull and another "harder wax" that had a V571?? (or some name ingediant) on the other side - it was much more difficult to apply.<br /><br />In July we pulled the boat (32'Chris) that had never been painted and compared buildup and cleanup ease (w/pressure washer). The boat was then dried, rewaxed with EZ-on-Bottom, and put back in for the rest of the season. (The "hard wax" had to be buffed and was much more work) <br /><br />Both waxes had considerable fouling but cleaned up OK with the powerwasher. Took the marina a couple of hours and about $130 to pull and wash the bottom in July. <br /><br />Next season, I plan on painting the bottom - even though it would be cheaper to continue with the waxing. I believe the amount of fouling with wax has a major effect on both speed and fuel economy. <br /><br />I have some left over wax if you want it. It goes for about $28 per bottle at West Marine.
