Ahhhh, boat is perfect again....

Somehow, I have already put 50 hours on my new boat this past month and a half. That is a good thing.

I pulled it out for the first time this week to get some service done.

1. New impeller. I asked for a new one to put into my on the boat tool box. The dealer decided to go ahead and put it in for me, and give me the used one as a spare....great idea...nothing lost there.

2. Oil change.

3. 2 remotes installed

4. I installed tower speakers.

5. Washed the living heck out of it, inside and out. Two coats of marine wax, then a dusting of 303 on the gel coat and a good buffing.

6. Rain-X all the glass

7. Oiled the teak, three times

8. Cleaned the interior perfect, then a nice coat of 303.

9. Rinsed out bilge, and cleaned carpet.

10. Put my new board and bindings on the racks.

11. Finished IPOD install.

12. Put the boat back on the lake..


Ahhhh, I swear the boat ran better and smoother than ever. I think the wax helped make the boat slide through the water better

Yea, I know better, but seriously....after sweating my butt off for four hours my boat just seems perfect. It just gleams....

I put it in the lift, grabbed a beer, pulled up a seat and drank a beer just looking. Its a job well done...feels good.

where's the pic?

We all know that waxing the boat slows it down

I know mine is much happier with a good coat of wax and a 303'd interior.

Every time I used to spitshine my old BMW that thing ran like a champ and when it was dirty it ran like a chump....I think it just feels better to you and makes it ALL WORK ALITTLE BETTER.

Not sure about waxing the boat since there is no build up if it runs better but boats that are left in the water for months and months at a time,you got to pull them out and clean the bottom and they run better!My uncle little wanna be yacth...when he cleans the bottom it runs better,considerably!

This was a week ago, before the cleaning....
