I hear this.  Last weekend the wife and I had occassion to take her daughter 
and son-in-law out for a fun day.  While they were swimming, I decided to 
take a peek at the bottom of the boat.  Jungle City.  I spent the next half 
hour with a scrub brush doing a little bottom grooming.  The boat went from a 
1.0 to a 1.4 (just guessing) but you know what I mean.  It does make a 
difference to "mow the grass."
Have fun,
Ed
