This is a commercially available product just released…
The new crystal polymer system was invented by Dr Barry Rogers of Visual Signals.
The “Glow Boat’ has been in development for over 10 years, (patent pending) and uses Visual Signals photoluminescent crystals. The glow not only makes it safer to be out in at night but is also used to attract fish. The unique manufacturing process used also ensures that the boat maintains its glow throughout its lifespan.
