Interesting, and opposite of what I would think would happen, based on a waxed surface repelling water.

"In a wetted surface, you want a sheeting action between two surfaces, and a sheet of water is slipperier upon itself than is just the hull on water. Wax repels water by design, so the sheeting action cannot happen anywhere near as efficiently, thus slowing your hull."

You learn something new every day. Now... Why does that matter on a fishing boat?
