Hi all,
I am getting my pontoons polished for free as reparation for a bad acid wash by my dealer. I've read pros and cons about applying SharkHide. I'm wondering if I should pay for it as an additional treatment or not. The pros seem to say it will delay some of the discoloration from being in the water. The cons seem to imply there is maintenance that needs to be done to the SharkHide itself and/or that it doesn't buy you much time anyway.
We keep our boat in the water in a spring fed lake in Maine. The water quality is very good, but certainly discoloration happens. It is in the water from mid-June to late-September.
Is it worth the $300? And what maintenance does it need? My husband usually rubs down the pontoons every couple of weeks anyway.
I appreciate any feedback!
