[quote="Reiner"][quote="Toonnut86"][quote="Reiner"]Not to question the beautiful look but isn't it counter productive to keep the drag on a boat as low as possible? I thought a slightly rough surface creates air bubbles while under way which are limiting the drag on the boat. Such smooth surface will not and subsequently increase drag.
Just a thought and may open for discussion.[/quote]
It's not polished on the bottom, Just the visible parts of the pontoon. But it's getting ceramic coated, which has been proven to increase speed on vhull's so far, Plus keep buildup lower when in slip, which will also help me keep the speed up.
also as you can see in the photo i'm going to try and attach, these boats don't ride very much of the hull in the water, so the inside and outside surfaces of the pontoon probably won't affect it much for good or bad.[/quote]
This makes sense and I'm not out to cause a fire storm.
Happy Tooning
I didn't think about it. Been researching for a while to figure out the best solution for me. the polishing was basically decided on because I was making the investment in the coating, and it would be a easy way to measure if the coating is holding up on my boat. Plus it's supposed to make cleanup easier. which is always a good thing. more time boating less time cleaning
