Scott,

Thanks. Tom and I had originally put on the VC-17 due to it's fresh water anti-fouling ability, contains Teflon so the boat will go "really fast" and is white, which is the look I wanted. Although intended as a trailer boat, It gives me the option of leaving her in the the water for a week at a time and still have easy clean up. We'll see about that...

Hey Otto.. How are you going to get that nasty looking blemish out of the side? Seeing that you paid to have someone do the work, I'd stop payment till they fix it. It's a shame. .boat looks great other then that blemish...

Otto ... Sounds like it will work perfect for your application . Thats probably a great choice for the rigors of on and off a trailer too ...

I bet when you do let her sit in the water for a bit any slime would wash right off since its got the Teflon in it. I see it is recommended for the lakes or areas of low fouling …again looks like a good alternative to a re-gel coat job.

One of the restorers in the area did spray the bilge of a 23 with it … Don’t remember why he used that over some of the other stuff out there …. Looked real nice …got fancy and fleck coated it

Is the final VC finish on your boat high gloss ??

Scott,

The final finish on the white VC-17 is more of a semi-gloss. It will finish better, but it's so hard that you'd have to work REALLY hard.
