Mine gets hauled every spring and the hull gets prep'd, polished, and waxed - cost is about $2300; above the waterline it gets polished and waxed three times a year. It is the pewter hull also which has a history of fading and chalking issues but the wax system they use seems to avoid the issues. I asked them about the 303 Graphine ceramic product - they looked into it and responded with "na" we will stick with our process.Guy next to me paid $12000.00 to have a 52 done. 3 years later its out of the water getting redone. This time they are sanding and buffing before the coating, It is a pewter hull. time will tell but way to steep for me. I will be painting the Blue on ours before I do it.
