The truck bed liner concept would certainly help in nosing over jet skis,
and reduce the potential to put a hole in the bottom, one good sinking (or
having the right to put three or four ski silhouettes* on the stern) could
cover the cost. To my knowledge the coal tar will not prevent marine
growth. Here in Florida that is a real consideration unless you plan to
always trailer it then haul out when done. In one week (just pulled after
7 days in the water, end of the wood stork nesting for the season was too
good to pass up for daily observation) the non bottom painted squat boards
on the Esther Mae can be turned black with a 1/8" layer of crud. It scrubs
right off, but unless scrubbed would really reduce the efficiency of the
vessel. The bottom painted portions do not exhibit growth during up to 3
weeks during the winter and no barnacles were noted after said length of
time.
* Least any one thinks too poorly of me I spent many hours riding a real jet
ski during the early eighties, I now have my hamstring rerouted down the
front of my left leg to keep it from flopping out of the knee socket.
During that time I never collided with anything except the water, and a
couple pieces of shoreline on some uninhabited small tidal creeks. Nowadays
with the hopped up, sit on style ski every yahoo in the world can get on and
go at frightening speed without knowledge or instruction, and boy howdy do
they!! People wound and maim themselves on regular basis, the most amazing
thing is how often they run into one another. That and I seriously doubt
that either side would be happy with a collision between a ski and a
Tennessee, truck bed liner or not.

Coal tar epoxy is epoxy with some large content of coal tar added to
it. It was frequently used on barge bottoms, and also for
waterproofing pilings, tanks, or other things that go in the earth or
in the water. It is supposed to be extremely water resistant.

Well, maybe mine will be done by August. This week I'm going to
finish the bottom, meaning fill the weave of the Dynel and then
bottom paint it. With enough men I'll flip that puppy over and put
some decks on it. For bottom paint I have two gallons of coal tar
epoxy. Should be pretty tough.
I enjoy your descriptions of performance. I noticed from the model
I made, and trying to take pictures of it in a pool of water on a
windy day, that it blows all over the place. Things could be
worse. I wonder if a small center board up forward would cure
this? Well, we'll see. In any case, Mr. Bolger and his friend
didn't approve of my modifications. Though, in truth, they follow
the plans very faithfully in every line, exept 2.5 feet on the end.
Well, there's the inboard, and the lack of external chines. A rose
by any other name is still a rose.
As for the draft, it's a concern and a compromise. I have two
kayaks with six inches of draft, alot for a kayak. And I live on a
big river with few shoals, so it's not too much of a concern, though
I did consider it. But what fun it is to build away!
I have some pictures of the build and a model I made which I hope to
post soon, though my wife is out of town for two weeks, and she's
the computer/picture expert. I'll post them soon. Keep in touch, I
love your boat.
