At Freedom Boat Club Lake Norman, TN, we checked in on Charmed, a Bennington SX22 that had been coated with Hull Pro for two full seasons. Given the unique challenges that come with maintaining aluminum pontoons, this was the perfect opportunity to see how Hull Pro held up over time. Because Hull Pro is biocide-free, natural marine growth and staining can still occur, but the key difference is how much easier it is to clean compared to untreated surfaces. The Bennington had been in the water all season, and when it was time for its yearly haul-out, the results spoke for themselves.

EFFORTLESS END-OF-SEASON CLEANING AT THE LAKES

Many boat owners dread the cleanup process at the end of the season, but with Hull Pro, maintaining a pontoon’s appearance is far less labor-intensive. When the Bennington was pulled from the water, a simple power wash handled the majority of the cleaning. For any lingering stains or tougher areas, a Magic Eraser, microfiber cloth, and water were all that was needed to restore the pontoons. For more stubborn growth or discoloration, Hull Pro is durable enough to withstand light acid cleaning, making it a hassle-free solution for keeping pontoons in top condition year after year.

SEALING AND PROTECTING ALUMINUM LOGS

One of the biggest challenges for pontoon and tritoon owners is protecting aluminum logs from corrosion over time. Hull Pro’s advanced epoxy formulation creates a protective barrier that seals the aluminum’s porous surface, preventing oxidation and pitting caused by constant water exposure. Unlike untreated aluminum, which can develop corrosion spots and surface degradation, Hull Pro locks out moisture, reducing the risk of long-term damage. This sealed surface also makes cleaning easier, as dirt, stains, and marine growth have a harder time adhering. By applying Hull Pro, pontoon owners can extend the lifespan of their vessels while keeping them looking cleaner and performing better, season after season.

MULTI-SEASON DURABILITY AND COST SAVINGS

One of the biggest advantages of Hull Pro is its long-term durability—even after two full seasons, there was no need for reapplication. Unlike traditional coatings that degrade over time, Hull Pro continues to protect without requiring frequent maintenance or recoating. This means boat owners save money on maintenance costs and spend more time on the water instead of scrubbing their pontoons. For those looking for a low-maintenance, high-performance coating, Hull Pro proves to be the ultimate solution for protecting pontoons season after season.
