Great information exchange here. I love it! I too looked at Clack, I just couldn't spend the money. There's something about banging aluminum off of rocks and knowing that you don't even need to care. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to finish. I drove myself crazy varnishing a wood boat, I was afraid I'd do the same trying to get scratches off of a glass boat. I got the new Willie, put on a coat of Shark Hyde and forgot about it.

By the way, I sent this thread to the guys at Willie (who I had an excellent experience with) and asked them to please take a look. It appears to me that there are customers walking away due to poor customer service, not boat quality. Hopefully they'll take heed.
