New boat... is ceramic etc. worth it?
This week I am taking delivery of a new hole in the water in which to throw my money.
As is customary, the F and I guy wants to sell me some extras.
They offer a ceramic hull and top sides treatment and vinyl protectant for $1,700.
The boat will live on a mooring on Paugus Bay.
It has been promised that the ceramic will minimize the scum line that develops from keeping the boat in the water. I am familiar with this scum on my previous boat. I didn't like it.
They also promise that bird and bug poop will not stain the vinyl and make for easy clean up.
My default position on F and I guy sales pitches is "NO" but I am wondering what the collective here thinks.
Should I spend $1,700 on these treatments?
