Hello there.  I am the proud owner of a brand new Arima Sea Ranger 21 HT and I had Defiance Marine add bottom paint to the boat.  The boat will be moored in a salt water marina from May thru September.  Has anyone heard of Hull Shield?  https://www.hullshield.net/
When I was originally shopping for a new boat a salesman from Three Rivers Marine highly recommended this product.  Just curious if anyone has had any experience with this or a similar product as a second layer of protection.

Looks interesting. My only experience is that I noticed little growth when I would leave the bilge pump on automatic while moored in saltwater. But only near the stern around the pump area. How many transducers will you be using?

I was thinking about just doing 1 transducer even though my boat is 21 feet.  Maybe I'll wait to see how well the bottom paint handles any growth this summer and, if needed, add the hull shield later...
