I think the reason most of us don't use it, is cost and availability to the home user. My understanding is that it is costly to buy the product, it is costly to hire someone else to apply it, and it is difficult to apply for an amateur without all the right equipment. A search her for the term "...

The Freedom 17-9 may be a good choice in a boat that performs well and is a bit bigger. If you choose to go big though, you might consider Gilpatrick's White Guide. 18.5' long, it should have room for a lot.

Some really good ideas have been put forward that I wouldn't have thought of, like the plaque and the apron.
