I have been getting mixed reviews on whether or not to sand the John Deere product or to leave it rough, one person tells me if it is not sanded it will slow the boat down and the other says being rough helps to break the surface tension thus a gain in speed ?? Thanks for any input

Put johndeere slip coat on the bottom of my 18 Bobcat and scrubed 2 mph off top speed , applied with a 10 mm roller and went on rough, sanded it smooth and got my speed back.

I have seen a couple people try it and all have lost speed doing it. Then spending the entire next day sanding it. 5 mph+ lost on race boats. I don't recommend it.

Slip cote works great in my opinion if it's applied on properly. The bottom should be sanded with 120 grit then slip cote applied with two coats using a brushed in one direction starting under the bow finishing up at the transom. Didn't notice any performance lost after applying it.

John deere also sells the slip coat in sray cans. much easier to apply.
