Sorry, wrong spelling: Barnacle Blok
Power Spray, Inc. is the company that does it. Here is the website:

As you can see, this is a serious outfit.
The email was bblok@powerspray.com.
Here is an article about it: http://www.chesapeake-angler.com/jul00spray.html
The Paxton truck can take the props down there and deliver them back through Murphy's Prop http://www.murphyspropellers.com/.
The finish is slightly rough, like galvanizing, but it lasts about two seasons and is cathodic. Barnacle just do not attach to it. I didn't use the boat much this year and have large barnacles on everything but the props. They have the equipment trailer mounted and if you can get enough boats together they will do all of the hardware on the bottom. Last time I checked it was about $600 for the full job, but with enough coats of bottom paint you could avoid hauling out for two years. I highly recommend it if you dont use the boat every weekend. This is my second time using it. Rawleigh
