FOR LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

CAPT. JARROD WALCK

In the world of boating, Captain Jarrod Walck stands out as an advocate for responsible and eco-friendly choices. When he approached Armus Marine at a boat show, he had a clear mission in mind: to protect his 43' Jupiter without compromising the environment.

WHY CHOOSE HULL PRO OVER TRADITIONAL BOTTOM PAINTS?

After seeing an application of Hull Pro on a tender at National Marine Suppliers in August of 2022, Capt. Jarrod started immediately engaging with the Armus team to see if we could solve his cleaning problems.

The Captain has used every method available to no avail to clean his vessels. Typically, he would need to dive his boat once a week to ensure no fouling would adhere to his gelcoat. Traditional anti-fouling paints were not an option for Capt. Jarrod, and he knew that other epoxy coatings on the market fell short in durability. Discover how Capt. Walck found the ideal solution in Hull Pro and why it's making waves in the industry.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Unlike traditional anti-fouling paints that can harm marine ecosystems, Hull Pro is designed with the environment in mind. It contains no biocides, ensuring that your vessel stays clean without negatively impacting the waters it glides through.
USER-FRIENDLY APPLICATION
Hull Pro's straightforward and safe application process impressed Capt. Jarrod. Unlike some coatings that require respirators and extensive PPE, Hull Pro simplifies the process, making it accessible for boat owners and professionals alike.
LONG-LASTING PROTECTION
Hull Pro offers unparalleled durability season after season. With Hull Pro, the need for frequent reapplications becomes a thing of the past, leaving more time for sailing and less time for maintenance.
EFFECTIVE FOULING-RELEASE PROPERTIES
Captain Walck experienced firsthand the performance properties of Hull Pro. His cleaning frequency also changed from diving once a week to diving and scrubbing once every three weeks!

Hull Pro doesn't just offer protection; it can also optimize your boat's performance. Capt. Jarrod chose Hull Pro for its ability to contribute to fuel savings and added performance!

HULL PRO REQUIRES REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Hull Pro sets itself apart from traditional anti-fouling paints or bare gelcoat. It's crucial to understand that Hull Pro is not anti-fouling; instead, it's a performance coating which means regular cleaning and maintenance is required.

Choosing Hull Pro can significantly reduce your cleaning frequency when compared to bare gelcoat. Frequency will depend on your region and water type.  

When you take good care of your Hull Pro coated hull, rest assured that Hull Pro takes care of your boat, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable sailing experience.

“ THIS IS THE PRODUCT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! UNLIKE COMPETING PRODUCTS THIS PRODUCT IS STRONGER THAN GEL COAT AND DOESN’T COME OFF WHEN OUR VESSEL IS LIFTED.

WE NEVER USE ANTI-FOULING PAINT... THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT WE’VE SEEN WITHOUT BIOCIDES!”
