Quick search on here didn’t help much, so I thought I would ask and see who has used one of the commercially available boat bottom coatings on their duck boat and how they liked it. Looking online, two of the more popular bottom coatings appear to be Wetlander and Gator Glide, but they’re others that get good reviews like Frog Spit and Steel Flex. I’m interested in something that will offer both protection as well as friction reduction. I’ve heard all the stories about “don’t unhitch your boat until it is in the water”, and I get that. But if I can improve performance as well as boat bottom protection, plus make my boat easier to pull through mud
, that would be a big benefit to having it done as I’m certainly not getting any older.
From my limited online research, Wetlander seems highly thought of and gets good reviews. Gator Glide seems to have originated from the Air Boat crowd, but it’s been around a long time and must be pretty good as well. Hope someone on here has tried one of these products and can chime in. Positive and negative reviews are welcome.
