Default Underwater surface finish

I dunno bout all dat fancy schmancy stuff what youse guys is huffin' bout,
but its pretty common knowledge that in high speed stuff like the racing pad
on the bottom of a modern bass boat, an ultra smooth waxed finish is not as
fast as a scuffed finish. Of course us psychotic bass boat drivers don't
get much chance to compare around here. One run up the river, and you skip
two or three sandbars giving that pad a nicely scuffed finish. They always
seem to be faster coming back down river. LOL.
