 Re: Poly on boat bottom
I am interested in the UMHW as well. Drake 1 puts it on, but it's kind of expensive. He quoted me $1300 for a 1848. I've been told the materials are only about $300-400. It's applied using epoxy and a vacuum process I believe. Here's who sells it: http://www.crownplastics.com/
