    Cleaning of the hull

    Re: Cleaning of the hull If it's really bad you're best to wet sand. Get some 1500 +/- wet-dry and do a small area. Sand (not too much and keep it wet and consistent) then polish and wax. It's the quickest way to get rid of it. Find a sanding block to stop the finger marks and a buffer will...

    Polish then Wax or Wax then Polish ???

    Re: Polish then Wax or Wax then Polish ??? My last boat (pictured) was black so everything had to be just right... cut polish (if needed), fine polish, (if it's black then a swirl remover) and then wax to keep it shiny. Polishes have a grit or chemical for addressing flaws and cleaning and wax...

    New boat

    We welcome the (newly named) "Motley Crew" to the family! Our 290 Sundancer was truly a piece of art but we outgrew it. We're absolutely loving the 3788! This one taken in Tod Inlet (Vancouver island). The previous 2 pics were at Sidney island. 3 kids and 2 cousins... we had an awesome day!!

    swapping long blocks?

    I'm not planning to do this but I was just pondering potential issues with replacing the 305 mpi short block with a 383 short block. Physically it's a direct bolt it... no exhaust issues, mounting, I'm sure the fuel pumps are adequate... Would the ECM need a different calibration or maybe a...
