Dan Dillon | Revolutionary Boat Hull Protection That's Ending Bottom Paint | Ep. 996 | Tom Rowland Podcast
Dan Dillon is the founder of Aquaphobix, the heat-applied pneumatic thermal plastic hull coating behind the viral Qualified Captain video of a man blowtorching a Yellowfin. In this conversation, Dillon explains how a swimming pool product with a 30-year industrial track record became a non-toxic alternative to copper bottom paint, why the coating bonds to fiberglass at over 800 psi and survives 60 mph testing with no delamination, and where the money in the annual bottom paint cycle really goes — roughly 70 percent of the cost is stripping and sanding labor, not paint. From the 102-year-old aquifer-fed Venetian Pool in Coral Gables to a meeting with Royal Caribbean's chief maritime inspector, Dillon makes the case that boat owners have been accepting a toxic, expensive status quo for no good reason.
