ITS PROBALLY SPEED COAT I USE IT ON THE BOTTOM OF ALL MY HULLS.missbudpilot55 said:Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the black is a special teflon slick paint to reduce the water friction on the running surfaces and on the underside rear it is there to help aid in braking the after-sponsons onto a plane faster and reduce the suction of the water on initial take-off.
This was also used on pickle-fork drag boats and v-hulls in boat drag racing as explained to me long ago buy the great Jim Youngblood, designer and builder of many successful drag boats in the late 70's & early 80's.
