 3mph increase with gator glide
Posted this also under 3 boat gator glide review. 15x36 go devil duck skiff , 16 vanguard twin cyl . Went from 16 to 19 consistent by myself, With a hunt load and extra bodies 13 to 16 . I applied 5 coats last sat, cured one week , test drove today. I applied this product to bottom 3rd of longtail shaft , skeg and cavitation plate as I was doing the bottom of boat, same 5 coats . I don't know if anyone else ever put it on their motor , but I highly recommend it , it turned real sweet .
It felt like a new rig, best ride I've ever had in it. Tested in grass , mud , lillies , shallow , and deep water in the trinity river area today for about 5 hrs . It's good stuff

 Re: 3mph increase with gator glide
What is the typical life span if applied with multiple coats?

 Re: 3mph increase with gator glide
Paint both , skeg , shaft , cavitation plate , and bottom of your boat. Worked for me . You don't want to try it don't. If you want a better ride try it out . On my original post on 3 boat review thread , I stated looking for performance vs speed. That I achieved 3 mph difference is a huge plus in my book , better than expected. Now if I hadn't applied to longtail would I have only achieved 2 mph gain , I'll never know I applied to both. This rig is small and skinny, some of you may have seen it at Setx mud run. Does it's size have something to do with it . What I do know is , I applied as directed , waited a week , test drove , had a blast , posted my results on what it gained on my boat . Those who saw or rode in it yesterday were impressed with difference as well .
To you that aren't using this thread as a pissing match, I'll be happy to respond, these were my results, will have two more boats to review as to what this product gains wereon their respective rigs

 Re: 3mph increase with gator glide
Dfou , this stuff sorta self levels , every coat dish eyes , then next coat fills the previous one in , this happened till coat three, fourth and fifth coat I could not tell where I had not painted except for color change , mine mixed up sorts grey but dried olive drab .

 Re: 3mph increase with gator glide
Mine goes about a mile faster over veggies because it was so scuffed up from oyster bars and grabbed like brake pads on lillies, after sanding and the glide filling the scratches, i can see how. Not sure on 3 though...?

Toughness wise I can't say yet but I will say that I had some drips and had a hard time scraping them off with a single edge razor blade.
