PORT CLINTON, OH

COASTAL YACHT DETAILING

Coastal Yacht Detailing recently completed a full Hull Pro installation on a 2025 Yamaha 222SD Jet Boat. The customer wanted a clean, sleek finish along with protection from the unique challenges of boating in the Great Lakes. Hull Pro delivered—bringing shine, blister protection, speed gains, fuel efficiency, and easier seasonal cleanup. This vessel is now equipped with an invisible layer of high-performance protection, including on the jet drives and transom, where zebra mussels tend to cling.

BUILT FOR JET BOATS: PERFORMACNE GAINS WHERE IT COUNTS

Jet boats like the Yamaha 222SD are built for efficiency and excitement—but their flat, high-surface-area hulls mean that performance coatings like Hull Pro can make a big difference. Once coated, the smoother surface reduces drag significantly, helping these vessels plane faster and hit higher top-end speeds with less strain on the engines. On this Yamaha 222SD, Travis and his team are expecting a 3 to 5 mph increase in speed.

Even more importantly, the customer will benefit from up to 10% fuel savings, a key advantage for anyone boating regularly across the Great Lakes. With Hull Pro’s low-friction finish, jet boats gain an extra edge—especially when they're hauling passengers, gear, or crossing long distances.

OSMOSIS & BLISTER PROTECTION - PEACE OF MIND

The gelcoat below the waterline is constantly exposed to moisture, which can lead to hull blistering or even deeper structural issues over time. Hull Pro helps protect against these costly problems by sealing and shielding the surface with a durable epoxy-infused layer.

In Travis’ words, the customer now has "peace of mind all season long that the bottom's protected." That means no need to worry about hidden damage forming below the surface—just boating, enjoying the season, and knowing your investment is safe.

ZEBRA MUSSEL CLEAN UP MADE EASIER WITH HULL PRO

Zebra mussels are an invasive species that plague the Great Lakes region. These clingy creatures attach to everything—including transoms, jet drives, and lower units—and are notoriously hard to clean. While Hull Pro is not an anti-fouling coating, it makes mussels dramatically easier to remove due to the smooth, non-stick surface it creates.

By applying Hull Pro to the entire hull and jet drive system, this customer is set up for easier fall maintenance. As Travis noted after the install, “this will all clean up really easily come fall”—eliminating hours of aggressive scraping or harsh chemicals, and extending the life of the vessel's exterior.
