Due to the fragility of certain coatings, objects subject to constant friction like boats hulls would require constant re-application of such a coating to maintain a high degree of performance. Despite the many applications of superhydrophobic coatings, safety for the environment and for workers can be potential issues.
The manufacturing rights were later purchased by John Althouse with the intention of restarting production. No new boats are currently being manufactured. The yachts varied in length from 26 to 44 feet, [2] and included express, sport fisherman, sedan and dual cabin models on a semi-planing hull. The series was made of welded aluminum.
Lead-based paint inspections will evaluate all painted surfaces in a complex to determine where lead-based paint, if any, is present. The procedures for lead inspections is outlined in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines, Chapter 7, 1997 Revision. The other testing is a lead-based paint risk assessment.
Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal does.
