Hull Pro Testimonial - Capt. Brandon with Pier Pressure from Fish River Outfitter

“Hull Pro has completely changed how our boat runs and how we maintain it. The hull stays cleaner, performs better, and holds up far better in the kind of shallow, abrasive water we run every day.”

Captain Thompson operates Fish River Outfitter and runs Pier Pressure, a charter operation based in the shallow, brackish waters of coastal Alabama. These waters are notoriously tough on hulls—filled with oyster beds, heavy sediment, and constant staining that quickly wear down gelcoat and slow boats over time. To combat these conditions, Captain Thompson turned to Armus Hull Pro for long-term protection and performance.



Since coating his vessel, Thompson has seen a noticeable improvement in how the boat runs and how easy it is to maintain. The hull stays cleaner between trips, marine buildup releases easily, and routine cleanups no longer require aggressive chemicals or hours of labor. Just as importantly, Hull Pro provides a durable barrier between the hull and abrasive oyster shells—helping preserve the boat’s finish while keeping it running efficiently day after day. For a captain who depends on reliability and uptime, the difference has been immediate and consistent.

HULL PRO PERFORMANCE IN THE GULF: FUEL SAVINGS, RANGE, AND RESETTABLE PROTECTION

Running in the Gulf of Mexico demands efficiency. Long runs, variable conditions, and rising fuel costs make drag reduction and clean hulls critical for charter captains like Captain Thompson. With Hull Pro applied, Pier Pressure has seen improved efficiency and reduced fuel burn—allowing the boat to run freer, maintain speed more easily, and extend range without pushing the engines harder.



Just as important is Hull Pro’s resettable maintenance advantage. Gulf waters bring constant exposure to salt, scum lines, and organic buildup, but instead of relying on acid washes or aggressive scrubbing, Hull Pro allows the hull to be easily reset with routine rinsing and light cleaning. Growth releases cleanly, stains don’t embed into the gelcoat, and the coating remains intact season after season.



For Pier Pressure, Hull Pro isn’t about one benefit—it’s about consistent performance, measurable fuel savings, and a hull that can be quickly reset and put back to work. That combination is what makes Hull Pro a practical, high-value solution for Gulf Coast charter operations that run hard and run often.
