10-12% Increased Fuel Economy with EcoClad Boat Paint

Eco-Clad Enthusiast – Jeff Karstadt

Jeff Karstadt, the General Manager of Yacht Boarding Systems, Inc., www.BoardingRamp.com, a manufacturer of portable boat boarding ramps and vessel boarding solutions, had his 42′ Silverton Motor Yacht’s bottom painted with Eco-Clad in June, 2011. We caught up with Jeff at the Miami International Boat Show and this is what he had to say. “I have been very pleased with Eco-Clad. I have seen a 2 MPH speed increase at WOT and about a 10%-12% better fuel economy since I applied Eco-Clad. Now after nine months in the saltwater of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, my diver reported that there was still no marine growth on the hull. This boat is now up for sale and when it does sell, I will definitely have Eco-Clad put on the next one. Feel free to use me as a reference as to the quality of your product.”
