Re: Want more speed?...this ones easy & real

oh yeah, one other thing I wanted to mention/ask about - for how many people would the speed gains really matter anyway? Isn't this an absolute limit of performance gain that would only find real value in competitive situations?
For example, let's say your boat does 40 mph and you wax or dewax the hull and get an increase of 10% or 4mph. you go on a 120 mile boating trip at wot (let's keep it simple). before the change it would have taken you 3 hours. after the change it would take you 2 hours and 43 minutes. Sure its 17 minutes cut off but - don't we enjoy this boating thing?

But then you can look at (or feel) a fish and note that when rubbed one direction they feel smooth and when rubbed toward the head the scales bite you. This creates tiny bubbles around the fish which breaks the surface tension. [emphasis added] ....
