Not being sarcastic here, but... Seriously?? How does that work?


Do you mean sanding the fiberglass? I'm guessing it has the golf ball effect by roughing the surface up a little. Less water actually touching the bottom of the boat. Waxing is supposed to slow it down because it actually increases the surface area, and with water, more surface area = more drag. With really fast boats like the bullet, about the only thing left in the water when clipping along is the back few inches anyway.

Just speaking out of theory here. I will likely never have a boat that runs like a Bullet, and even if I did, I doubt I would have the guts to do anything over 65 or 70 in it.
