But think of the commercial opportunity!

Somebody can buy a 55-gallon drum of Turtle Wax, repackage it in 2-oz tins as
"prop wax" (you'll need to buy two if you have twin engines, of course), and
millions of folks would $pony up. Probably mark the stuff up 3500% at
wholesale. :-)

You are quick, Chuck! But a little late ... I just ordered a drum of
fish wax (fish oil with a plasticizer) and plan to market it as Flying
Fish Prop Wax.

Everyone knows how well flying fish perform so it only follows that a
regular application of Flying Fish brand prop wax will provide wave
hopping performance gains to planing boats and phenomenal fuel savings
as well as a very satisfying speed increase when used on displacement hulls.

Yes, you read that correctly! Flying Fish brand prop wax isn't just for
props!

Email me with your shipping address and I will send you a seasons supply
for your tuglet at the special introductory price.
