I'm new to the forum but sharing this in case it is actually new information (?).

Was on a call with Bennington yesterday w/some questions on Metal Jacket XL, Vantage wraps, etc.

He said that at the boat show coming up in a few weeks they are introducing a new type of pontoon sealant where the entire tube is dipped in a type of plastic covering (so not like a chemical Metal Jacket-type product which I think is applied manually?)

He said initially it will only be available in white or black (surprised clear isn't an option), but then later they will be introducing other colors...
 
It will be in interesting to see how that plastic coating stands up to dock rash , and fork lifts .
 
Thanks for sharing. This is news to me. Interesting idea. If it can hold up to the concerns Jack raised above, it would be nice. I am presuming it prevents rough water and algae build up on the pontoons, but also wonder how it would do that.
 
Another toon ( different brand ) at our marina has black toons , algae grows on his .
Hmmm….then just a cosmetic thing? Not that I have a problem with that. I like a good looking Toon! But then it’s not really a new protectant unless they are looking at it purely as something to absorb “scuffs”.
 
I would think that a painted toon would prevent the oxidation, which if true would be nice, but hard water and organic growth would still be an issue.
