Mexican Gulf Fishing Company entrusted The Boatler in Fairhope, AL, with the detailing and protection of their high-performance ZCB vessel before its showcase at the 2025 Miami International Boat Show. As a company known for pushing the limits in offshore fishing, MGFC needed a coating that could withstand the intense demands of saltwater excursions, high-speed travel, and constant exposure to the elements. Traditional waxes and bottom paints require frequent reapplication and maintenance, but Hull Pro’s advanced epoxy-based formula provides long-term protection with minimal upkeep.

With Hull Pro, MGFC’s ZCB receives an ultra-slick, hydrophobic finish that not only enhances the boat’s aesthetic appeal but also boosts overall performance. The coating is virtually invisible, preserving the vessel’s original factory look while offering superior durability against UV exposure, oxidation, and marine fouling. Whether this ZCB is powering through choppy waters in search of trophy fish or on display at the industry’s biggest boat show, it now stands out as a premium example of performance-driven protection.

PERFORMANCE AND PROTECTION FOR AN ELITE FISHING VESSEL

Designed for high-speed offshore angling, MGFC’s ZCB operates in some of the toughest marine environments, facing relentless salt spray, high winds, and the constant pressure of rigorous fishing schedules. A high-performance boat demands a high-performance coating, and Hull Pro delivers with a hydrophobic, non-sacrificial barrier that keeps the vessel running at peak condition. Unlike wax coatings that wear down after repeated trips or traditional anti-fouling paints that leach chemicals into the water, Hull Pro bonds directly to the gelcoat, providing a long-lasting, ultra-durable layer of protection.

The key to Hull Pro’s effectiveness lies in its epoxy-strength composition, which resists delamination, peeling, and degradation over time. This means that no matter how many hours MGFC’s ZCB spends battling big game in deep waters, its hull remains protected from the corrosive effects of saltwater and harsh UV exposure. Additionally, Hull Pro’s ultra-smooth surface prevents marine buildup, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing and harsh cleaning chemicals. This translates to less downtime and more time spent on the water, where every trip can mean the difference between an average catch and a record-breaking haul.

ECO-FRIENDLY, BIOCIDE-FREE PROTECTION

MGFC understands the importance of choosing sustainable solutions that protect both their vessels and the waters they rely on. Many traditional hull coatings contain biocides and other harmful chemicals that leach into the environment, disrupting marine life and contributing to water pollution. Hull Pro offers a game-changing alternative—an eco-friendly, biocide-free protective layer that maintains peak performance without harming the delicate marine ecosystem. With Hull Pro, fishing professionals can operate responsibly, maintaining their boats without sacrificing their environmental values.

MAXIMIZING RANGE AND REDUCING FUEL COSTS

Offshore fishing requires long-range capability, and fuel efficiency plays a critical role in determining how far a vessel can travel before needing to refuel. Hull Pro’s ultra-slick, low-drag surface enhances hydrodynamics, allowing MGFC’s ZCB to slice through the water with greater ease. The reduced friction means the boat can maintain higher speeds with less engine output, leading to lower RPMs, reduced fuel burn, and ultimately, extended range. This efficiency is invaluable for professional anglers who need to maximize every gallon of fuel to reach prime fishing locations.

The benefits of Hull Pro go beyond fuel savings. A smoother-running hull puts less strain on engines, reducing wear and tear over time. This translates to lower maintenance costs, longer intervals between servicing, and increased longevity for expensive propulsion systems. In a competitive industry where every operational expense matters, Hull Pro provides a tangible advantage, allowing MGFC to spend less time at the fuel dock and more time chasing trophy fish. With rising fuel costs and growing environmental concerns, adopting fuel-efficient solutions like Hull Pro is a strategic investment that pays dividends both on and off the water.
