ITS LIKE THE STEELFLEX BOTTOM PAINT THAT YOU USE TO PROTECT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOAT. IF YOU DONT RUN POLY. I JUST BOUGHT A BOAT FROM A GUY IN FORT MYERS AND HE HAD STEELFLEX ON THE BOTTOM AND ITS FLAKING OFF. I RID THE KISS. AREA AND MOST OF THE GUYS RUN A PAINTED ON BOTTOM CALLED SLICK BOTTOM, FROG SPIT OR OWL S**T.

My tour boat has a 572 with a counter rotator (panther)
I can go anywhere with that boat.
I own a little fishing boat that will get stuck looking at water less than 6 inches so I am looking at putting something on the bottom of the water.

Is slickbottom a brand name or a generic product line?

Dixie,
Heres a link to a supplier for epoxie bottom coatings.
http://www.fascoepoxies.com/
I perfer the Superslick steel-flex for the bottom of the hull, and regular super steel-flex for areas you might want to have a nicer finish on.
There is another product out there called frog spit, but I'm not sure where to get it right off hand.
I have been told that "Slickbottom" is a term that is sometimes used for airboat coatings, but is more commonly understood as the nickname that Cntry141iq had in high school.
I chose my nickname when I was five years old, but I think Cntry was given that one by someone else. I understand that he does not like to discuss how he got that nickname. I'm certain it was a complimentary nickname, cause I think he was very popular in High School.
And yes,
They did have High Schools way back then.
It coulda been because he was such a clever kid.
The dogs would never play with any of the ugly kids in Cntry's childhood home, because some individual kept stealing the porkchops that had been installed about thier necks.
Everybody figured it was Cntry stealing and eating those prokchops, but the were never able to actually catch him with one redhanded.
Gotcha back Cntry.

Dixie,
Welcome to Southern Airboat. I hope cowboys answer helped. It is certainly better than the one he deleted.
Don't mind cowboy, he is a really nice guy. It's just that he forgets to take his medication occasionally.
Cowboy,
That was hilarious! When I saw the title I thought the thread was about slick bottom. Then it got onto coatings, then back to slick and back to........

It is hard to type with tears in your eyes from laughin ... Cowboy I thought I had outlived my youthful adventures but alas they follow me.
The girls in high school gave me that name for very complimentary reasons.. I was very slick at getting to the bottom of things and when it comes to the ladies the bottom is a wonderful place to be if you know what I mean and yes I ate a lot of pork chops and still do as I never had a need to use them for jewelry.
The skunk ape sightings have been and continue to be a mystery although as I have gotten older there seems to be less of them. It was the darndest thing though ... only the ladies saw him and no complaints were ever filed except by their husbands who complained the ladies were left with a constant smile on their face for months after the sightings .. go figure huh. Well life has many mysteries and I guess we will never know for sure.
If you need help with those rope burn scars let me know I may be able to find some old folklore remedy for it although they will probably return. Please take two asprins and call me tommorrow if it persists.
Are you gonna make the 3A run ??? Hope to see you there.
