Boat maintenance

Has anyone ever heard of this so called "SPEEDBLADE" that is suppose to be the best thing for barnacle removal. I am thinking of running a barnacle removing business on the side for extra money and I was told about the speedblade.

I have found only a little info on it online, I even checked West Marine. I am beginning to think that they might have gone out of business. If you know of anything, please let me know. Thanks

Barnacles

I have never heard of that product, but the best solution I have found is a power-wash as soon as the boat comes out of the water. I have been able to remove barnacles and everything else. You can rent power-washers from Home Depot and such for reasonable rates.
