Captain Ben runs the Thrillseeker Jet Boat for Southern Shore Cruises, a high-performance passenger vessel that lives in the water for months at a time. Operating in tannin-rich river water, his hull typically faces constant exposure to organic staining and marine growth.

This season, Ben coated Thrillseeker with Armus Hull Pro in February — and after more than six months in the water, the results speak for themselves.

When he pulled the vessel for inspection, there were no barnacles, no algae growth, and zero fouling anywhere on the hull. A quick pressure wash removed only surface staining from the cypress “sweet tea” water, leaving the coating’s sleek, glossy finish intact.

Even more impressive, Ben reports increased top speed and better fuel efficiency, showing Hull Pro’s dual advantage of protection and performance for vessels that stay wet all season long.
