Mythbusters - Blue GRP Hull difficult to keep clean?

10/05/2008 22:05

I've heard a number of folk in the marine business express negative views on Blue GRP gel coat hulls, mainly about keeping it clean and requiring more frequent compounding and polishing. Is this a myth or not? Some say it's more a problem on fresh inland water due to lime staining, others that salt is the problem.

Personally I thing some blue hulls look fantastic, but weary of these maintenance myths. Any informed comments?
