    I have use Prop Speed and had good results.

    Boat was a 36 sports fisher used every second weekend on average.

    We got a year out of the application, sometimes a little longer.

    Its important that it is applied correctly. Clean surface, heating etc.

    We had the boat yard do it.

    I've used propspeed on many boats and it helps with growth, but is not an end all of all end alls.....I actually prefer Trilux on slower boats. I don't know how well propspeed would stick on the zues drives since I've only seen them with Stainless Steel props.

    I have not heard of anyone using prop armour or of it. I have also seen where even scaling on the s/s props on the zues drives cuts top rpm's quite a bit.
