Advanced Antifouling Technology Now Available on Florida’s Treasure Coast
Revolutionary antifouling technology is poised to changes the way boaters deal with the nemesis of mariners, biofouling (fouling). This cutting edge technology eliminates the money-robbing fouling of the hull, running gear and raw water systems.
The recent ban on antifouling paint toxins has rendered them ineffective against marine growth and increased boaters’ costs of maintenance, increased fuel consumption, and reduced range. Just one millimeter of slime on a boat’s hull can increase the coefficient of friction by 75%.

I hope this is an improvement over “Barnacle Bill”. “Barnacle Bill” was an ultra-sonic gizmo that made the same claims the same way and then disappeared beneath the waves about thirty or forty years ago.
