I know. It came with the boat. I'm willing to sacrifice 1 mph for the amount of times we are on the beach.
Plus that's one less part of the hull we have to clean.

Call me sacrilegious, but Lysol toilet bowl cleaner or The Works toilet bowl cleaner will take that right off. Just pour into a spray bottle, spray your hull bottom...and rinse. Don't laugh until you have tried it. It will work great on your 16 year old hull bottom.

Re: cleaning
I have heard "the Works" works really well, just never had anything bad enough to have to try it!

Re: cleaning
No but be careful on your trailer. Water is your friend. Rinse. I've seen worse. But I've also seen it where it had to be sanded off. Starbright hull cleaner is great. I've used lysol gel toilet cleaner it worked great on my red boat. Only thing that would clean it.

Re: cleaning
acid does not damage gel coat, I do a 50/50 acid water on the drives and rinse with water, It will eat paint off a trailer though.........ask me how I know haha

Re: cleaning
LilHackster, I'm curious, do you keep your boat in the water for the summer with no bottom paint on her? I don't see any on that VERY clean hull.
