OK, this will once again ID me as being out in left field but.... I know several people who have had 2-part spray polyurethane coatings applied to truck beds and trailers. The stuff is unbelievably tough - nothing seems to phase it - chemical or physical. So of course, I wondered if this wouldn't make a great coating for the keel of a kayak. Should last 'forever'. I don't think it would considerably alter the dynamics of the hull in water - can be applied to any thickness. I've seen it applied to wood, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, so it would seem that applying to a hull would be doable. Comes in any imaginable color - someone even said it came in glow-in-the-dark...supposedly highway depts use it in their trucks for locating parts and tools at night...seems a stretch to me. Anyway, thought I'd toss out the idea.
