As a Ablative formula, it wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, continuously exposing fresh biocide and eliminating the paint buildup common with hard bottom paints. Its water-based formulation means easy application with minimal odor and simple soap-and-water cleanup, making it a practical choice for do-it-yourself haul-out and launch prep as well as professional boat yard work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydrocoat Blue is built to withstand the physical demands of trailering, beaching, and repeated launching without the coating flaking or lifting, and it forms a slick, smooth film that helps maintain top hull speed. It is supplied as a liquid in a one-gallon container with coverage of approximately 350 square feet per gallon, and is packaged with a brush for application. This antifouling paint is a boat yard and manufacturer's choice for owners who want dependable, multi-season protection without the strong solvent odors of traditional ablative paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit
