Has anyone heard of or used Hyspeedkote? They say it will increase speed, accelleration, mileage, etc. just by spraying their liquid on your hull. <br /><br />The claims seem great but too good to be true.<br /><br />WWW.Hyspeedkote.com

Never heard about it.<br /><br />If you are going to try, please keep us updated as your experiences will be more reliable (to me) than the ones used for promoting the stuff.

Re: Hyspeedkote - anyone tried it?

In the past I wouldn't have believed this but I have just tried a product called "liquid rollers" that is sprayed on trailer bunks. I had always had problems getting the boat (a 14' jet boat) off the trailer. I considered converting to some type of roller instead of the bunks but when I saw this product I decided to try it. It was amazing. It worked better than rollers. The boat just glides off the bunks and cranks back on just as easily.<br /><br />Hyspeedkote will be way down on my list of things to try unless someone tells me that it really works. But it does sound interesting.

Hyspeedkote is advertised hard in the Hot Boat magazine. I have not seen any technical endorsements or comments in any of the tech columns.<br /><br />Give it a try and let us know. I would be very curious about the longevity of the product.<br /><br />Bob
