Never wax the running surface of your hull. It'll make it go slower and in higher speed applications (bass boats especially), I've heard that it can be dangerous. I don't recall the exact issue, but I don't plan on doing it anytime soon.

Just wax the sides and make her pretty!



I'm confused. wax will make it go slower....and in higher speed appilications it can be dangerous.

This just doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand how it can make it go slower???? As to higher speed applications be dangerous, I would think that would be related to the hull design. (I'd be contacting the boat manufacturer)

To me, a clean and slick hull should make the boat easier to push....thus faster and smoother than a dull hull.

I'm confused.....hopefully someone can explain this so I can understand.....

thanks,
