The Gross Truth About Your Boat Hull (And Why Your Prop Hates You)
by Jaden LeakeLet’s get real — your boat hull is nastier than you think. Beneath the surface, it’s collecting a swampy layer of barnacles, algae, and drag that’s quietly draining your fuel, slowing you down, and embarrassing your engine at every marina.
This isn’t fear-mongering — it’s science. And if you're a boat owner cruising around South Florida, you can’t afford to ignore your underwater maintenance game.
💸 You’re Paying for Growth You Didn’t Ask For
Barnacles love warm South Florida waters. Unfortunately, that love turns into a toxic relationship for your boat's performance and fuel budget. We’re talking up to 30% more fuel burned just because of marine growth. That’s not just a dirty hull — that’s dirty math.
🚀 A Clean Hull Is a Fast Hull
Want better top-end speed and fuel efficiency without upgrading your engine? Simple — clean your hull regularly. That sleek glide through the water? That’s what we deliver. No barnacles, no drag, just smooth sailing.
⚠️ Electrolysis Is the Silent Killer
You already know we check your zincs every visit — because once those go, it’s open season on your props and shafts. Other divers might dip and dash. We inspect, record, and protect.
