Just read about a robotic hull cleaner in the Afloat magazine.

it's called Hulltimo, looking at a Web site it's not cheap but early days.

Anyone know more?

Interesting idea. I have seen them used on oil tankers and container ships. They use a magnet to connect to the hull and drive around like those robotic vacuum cleaners. I think on ships this size they are justified, but on small boats..

$100 to pay a diver every 3 - 6 months or $5K for this thing. Know what i would choose.
