Was glad you mentioned GACO site as was just starting to wonder where these exotic coatings came from. Was very interseting. If I got it correctly it looks like Neoprene and Hypalon are pretty expensive to use vs their 2 part urethane over ext paint like the Willow boats, something like 2 gallons to cover a kayak of roughly 50 sq ft?
