When I bought the boat in 2008 it was delivered to a yard in Slidell, LA. I had several things done to it, installed a bow thruster, holding tank, and Electro-Guard cathodic protection. All of the zincs were removed and after the cathodic installation, the hull was painted. Back in the water about mid-October 2008. Last weekend I had her hauled out for a bottom cleaning, didn't really know what to expect, corrosion wise. I was pleasantly suprised that the bottom looked great, no corrosion visible after it was pressure washed. The prop, shaft, and bow thruster looked the same as when it was put in the water. Frankly, I expected this gizmo to be something akin to snake oil. My slip is located in fresh water (infrequently salt water), so no barnacles to deal with, just a nice coat of green slime that came right off. I would recommend this to anyone interested.
