Re: frog spit

Re: frog spit
Floral City Airboat here in Florida carries the FS.
I prefer it to ply due to weight & it's easily touched up.
You can expect a gain of 1-2 mph after the application.

Re: frog spit
The contact for the frog spit is Dusty_Dog_A shoot him a PM. The company is a local ship yard called washburn marine. You WILL HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR MOTOR OR ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR BOAT. They lift it off the trailer and tape it off and spray it.

Re: frog spit
can you put it on without flipping the boat over? CCs are not as easy to flip as a tiller hull. will it bond/ hold (whatever) to the boat just lifted and not flipped?

Re: frog spit
Yeah I would like to see that 100 dollar frog spit job buddy!!!!!! Guys go a head and get your self a gallon and do it this way and when it comes out like sh!t give ol' dusty and darby a shout at washburn marine. I have 2 gallons sprayed on the bottom of my rig and I know how thick it its. 1 gallon in my book it not enough mills of thickness.

Re: frog spit
I am really interested in putting FS on my boat. I run hard sandy bottom most of the time. Will it help in pushing off of sand bars, etc.? Does it give a little protection against hooks?

Re: frog spit
Hmmm im kinda interested in this especially for 100 bucks not much to loose. Can you fill in hooks? that would be my main concern the bottom of my boat is really hooked up. If It would take care of that i might have to give it a try after the seasons over.

Re: frog spit
Anyone have experience compairing the frog spit to steelflex? The Steel Flex folks have a filler that goes on before coating to fill hooks.

Re: frog spit
If it's sprayable then a $20 gravity feed gun from Harbor Freight would do it so forget that $600 spray job.
