PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL

EMERALD COAST CLEAN WERKS

A high-performance offshore vessel deserves the best protection, and Emerald Coast Clean Werks delivered just that with a meticulous Hull Pro application on this 365 Everglades. To ensure an ultra-smooth, high-gloss finish, the team used a Black Widow air gun with a 2.0mm tip, allowing for flawless coverage and a mirror-like surface. This advanced spray technique ensured an even distribution, preventing inconsistencies.

With Hull Pro’s superior adhesion properties, this vessel now benefits from a non-sacrificial, long-lasting coating that enhances aesthetics while providing industry-leading durability. Whether battling offshore conditions or soaking up the sun at the dock, the gelcoat remains protected from oxidation, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. This precise application process maximizes both protection and efficiency, keeping this Everglades looking pristine and performing at its peak for years to come.

PRECISION SPRAY APPLICATION FOR FLAWLESS PROTECTION

Applying Hull Pro to a high-performance vessel like this 365 Everglades requires precision, and Emerald Coast Clean Werks delivered a showroom-quality finish using a professional spray technique. The Hull Pro formula was cut with 5% xylene after mixing before loading the spray gun. By utilizing a Black Widow air gun with a 2.0mm tip, they ensured an ultra-smooth, even application that maximized gloss and durability. This specialized method allows for a thinner yet more consistent layer of Hull Pro, eliminating inconsistencies or streaks.

Compared to traditional hand-applied coatings, spraying Hull Pro ensures even coverage across every contour of the hull. The result? A glass-like finish that enhances both aesthetics and performance. This technique also allows the coating to self-level, preventing streaks or uneven thickness that could compromise longevity. With Emerald Coast Clean Werks’ expert application, this Everglades is now fully protected against UV exposure, oxidation, and marine contaminants—all while maintaining a sleek, high-performance surface built for offshore adventures.

ADVANCED GELCOAT & UV PEROTECTION FOR OFFSHORE CONDITIONS

The demanding nature of offshore boating exposes hulls to relentless sun, saltwater, and physical wear, particularly along the keel and impact zones. Hull Pro acts as a defensive shield, forming a hard epoxy barrier that prevents UV degradation, oxidation, and gelcoat deterioration. Unlike traditional waxes or ceramic coatings that wear away over time, Hull Pro chemically bonds to the surface, ensuring long-lasting resilience in the harshest marine environments.

The keel, one of the most vulnerable areas of any vessel, benefits immensely from this reinforced protection. With Hull Pro’s ultra-durable finish, this Everglades can withstand repeated beaching, trailering, and heavy usage without compromising its glossy appearance or structural integrity. Furthermore, the UV-blocking properties keep the gelcoat from chalking or fading, preserving the boat’s deep, rich color and showroom shine. With this level of protection, offshore adventurers can confidently tackle open waters, knowing their investment is safeguarded against time and the elements.

LOW-MAINTENANCE CLEANING & FUEL GAINS

Hull Pro’s advanced hydrophobic properties make maintenance easier. By creating an ultra-slick, non-porous surface, the coating prevents contaminants from embedding into the gelcoat, allowing dirt and residue to rinse away with ease. Unlike traditional coatings that require aggressive scrubbing or chemical cleaners, Hull Pro ensures that a simple hose-down or light wipe is all it takes to maintain a spotless finish. If hard fouling does appear, Hull Pro is still durable enough to take on most acid cleaners. Our detailers love On & Off hull cleaner, and it doesn’t affect Hull Pro’s finish or longevity!

Performance matters on the water, and Hull Pro’s ultra-smooth finish directly enhances efficiency. By reducing drag, the coating allows this 365 Everglades to cut through the water with less resistance, resulting in measurable fuel savings. On similar vessels, Hull Pro has been shown to improve fuel economy by 5-10%, allowing for longer trips offshore without the added cost of excessive fuel consumption.

For offshore anglers and adventure seekers, this translates to more time at prime fishing grounds and fewer refueling stops. Additionally, the reduction in engine strain contributes to smoother operation at lower RPMs, improving overall vessel performance. By maximizing fuel efficiency, Hull Pro provides not just immediate savings but also long-term benefits, ensuring that owners get the most out of every gallon while maintaining peak performance in demanding conditions.
