Default Propspeed??

I was at the Seattle Boat Show yesterday, and saw for the first time a
product called Propspeed (http://www.propspeed.com/). It looked like a
sort of thin rubbery coating - they had a prop there on display with the
stuff on it.

Since I am facing a haulout this spring, I would like to know if anyone
has tried this stuff?

We have it aboard - diving the boat to remove the mooring ball (oops!)
I managed to get around the shaft revealed not the first growth of any
sort,despite long periods of inactivity.

Expensive, but I'll do it again when I have to (and it's out of the
water, of course!).
