hi all, just came back from the sydney boat show.. there was a stand with a interesting concept.. not sure if it works or not, but interesting nevertheless.. has anyone heard of such a device?
basically it is a big ultrasonic type transducer.. bot the size of a coke can.. it has a plate that is glued to the middle of the hull, then the device is screwed into it.. then turned on... and apparently no more bottom growth.. it costs about $3000, and while it may not sound cheap.. considering each year bottom coating costs $2000.. it pays for itself in under 2 years. Its guaranteed for 2 years, yet the one they have initially produced is 7 years old and still going strong..
what are your thoughts?
