I find it quite odd that people use the word 'blackened' to describe getting the hull done. Moreso they pay a fortune for the privilege! Having a boat blackened should be a very cheap process. One which I am able to do for next to nothing. Best quality materials to EU standards, by a qualified arsonist. £10
One liter of E10 petrol and a match. Job done.
Blackened, as you will have gathered by now, is generally the aftermath of a fire.
We take a boat to be Blacked using Blacking after which the boat has been Blacked.
