Washing my Boat outside in January...in Ontario, Canada
I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Last year we could ride our sleds for about 2.5months straight. This year there hasn't been a single trail open yet in my area.
Just got done finishing my 4 bag, jabsco auto ballast system, all bronze hardware, full stainless thru hulls, tried not to cheap out... It was 12C (54F) and sunny the other day so I decided to pull my boat and give her a wash! Enjoy the pics... Also, looking for other opinions, should I add the large AIR decal from 00-02 SANs. I peeled the factory decals off and added the Super Air 210 from http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...t/IMG_7169.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...t/IMG_7173.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...t/IMG_7170.jpg |
oh man that's a good looking rig. congrats on the auto ballast setup... i hope you have about 3k worth of bags in there!!
please don't put the decal on the side. your boat is exactly... and i mean exactly the way I would want it done. two thumbs up from a fellow Canadian |
I am in Phoenix, Arizona. 54 degrees with snow on the ground and washing your boat sounds so crazy/funny to me. Good on ya ��
|
Just south of you in Rochester, ny. Know what you mean!
Great looking boat! Clean! Pretty pumped about thin ice on our lakes. Thaw faster!,,,,, |
Normally I'm a minimalist. Less is more. I like solid color hulls but with white gel I think it could use something to break it up a bit. Either a simple AIR or NAUTIQUE decal or maybe some sort of pinstriping at the water line would look sharp.
|
I would either leave it as is or add the super air nautique graphics from the blue boat below. The problem with the air graphic is I think it would end up being a little bit below the water line if you planned on putting it just below the grey stripe.

I personally like the clean look it has now and would not change anything. I am sure it will still good no matter what you do with it.
|
I like the boat as-is and think it is great you were able to wash it this time of year!
|
Where abouts do you live? I'm in chatham kent, I ride in erieau but looking for more spots close by to travel to this summer. Where do you ride?
|
Yeah I am going to leave it clean for now and maybe add something down the road! The AIR decal would probably be under the water after I fill it up with enough ballast!
Darrell Eskritt: I am from just outside of Sarnia. We ride about 25min away from chatham! As much as we can in the summer. We are always looking for more riders/drivers and the water always looks like this! This is me behind my buddies xstar! Let me know and we should meet up this summer. I can give you details on this spot too! http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/..._3611300_n.jpg |
god DAMN that water is gorgeous
|
OH MAN!! I would love to know where that spot is. I have always wanted to ride in blue water like that
my email is darrelleskritt@hotmail.com hit me up with that info about that spot and we'll have to get some riding done this summer! |

Love that boat on the boat mate trailer might be my favorite I have seen on this site. |
Thanks for all the comments guys!
Definately stoked for spring! Funky! I am still in awe about this boatmate trailer. I don't think I could own another boat without one now! |
I like the clean look also, but when I think of the solid color clean look, I don't think of two different colors. Because of the two colors you have, I would go with the decal. IMHO...

That looks nice and clean without the stickers. Whats that white stuff on the ground, soap bubbles?
