Guys, I am not an engineer (although I play one on TV. LOL) It just seems to me that the boat is causing more drag if it is not smooth. The boat is not the source of propulsion the prop is. If the boat itself was the source of propulsion, you would want it rougher to essentially "grab" the water. Steve, as for race boats being sanded. Doesn't sanding make the surface smoother? I am just trying to understand this better. Compare it to sanding drywall. I am still with you guys on this but one way or the other makes a difference all be it possibly very little. I think I may be totally confused at this point. By the way, I have an aluminum boat
