So far (that means nothing of course) I have not run into that. My very first one that had ZAR over nylon did have a couple of small spots starting to flake but it came off the trailer and tried to take out the bridge (bridge won) so it is no more.

The second one with 12 oz nylon and ZAR has amazed me how well it held up and I banged that boat around a lot. Run it over everything in site and the only thing is needs is a touch up on the stern seam around the waterline. I think I have backed into rocks enough to have worn off a little finish.

But none of the polyester/oil base have shown any signs of wear of flaking YET. But given more time they may. They are not as old as the other two. Regardless I am still very interested in see the results. I not a convert yet but I am listening and watching. :-)
