Thanks Jake,
I see why they put you on the cover. So I resign myself to a couple of coats of this co-polymer per year and people will ask me if I have a new boat!?!?!? That sounds perfect.
This also sounds like a very good reason to "invest" in one of the total boat covers (for $ 200 in Murrays) once this is completed so as to avoid some of the UV damage? Am I reading this right?
