Some thoughts, please: On this 28ft Sea Ray SLX 280, I rarely go over 20mph, although it can go quite a bit faster - is this fast enough to knock of barnacles that have attached? I am not talking slime, these things are attached. I think my problem is that I don't use it enough and it sits at times for 3 weeks, sometimes a month, before i can get back to her and run her out for a while.
Question for FSTBTTMS or Divers on TF: What should I tell my diver to use on the bottom in terms of scrubbing? Or am I just toast because the waters on Hilton Head are so warm the growth will come and attach unless I run it often?
What paint are you using?
