Hello everyone.
Everytime I go out in my poly kayak I get more and more scratches on
the bottom of the hull. I realize this is par for the course...but I'm
wondering, are there any products that provide protection for the hull
or recondition scratches? Would waxing the hull with regular ol'
Turtle wax provide any protection? Would waxing the wetted surface
area increase speed through the water?

There is NO benefit to fawning over a plastic boat; you're better off to
spend that time paddling. Scratches are par for the course (you can
scratch it with a fingernail) and the material is little affected by much
of anything. An occasional wipe with 303 Protectant, especially on rubber
hatch covers, is all that it will ever need.

Yeah...I kinda figured wax or similiar product wouldn't do much, but
was curious if there was anything out there like that. Thanks
