Looks good. What did you use on the boat to bring the shine and color out on it.


fishing user avatarPainter Dude reply : 

Now thats a nice remodel! Good Job


fishing user avatardaviscw reply : 

Looks a million times better!


fishing user avatarJimzee reply : 

Good job on the boat.  Looks great now.


fishing user avatarAaronH reply : 

Really nice job, looks like a new boat. I would clean up the wheel and take a rattle can to it then your all set.


fishing user avatarOlebiker reply : 

You've done a good thing, my friend.  I hate to see a boat allowed to deteriorate.  I watched a neighbor's Stratos sit out in the weather uncovered and uncared for years before he finally sold it.


fishing user avatarROOKIE02 reply : 

NICE WORK!  

TOO BAD I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH PAINT W/OUT SPENDING SOME BUCKS.

CLEAR COAT WAS SUN BURNT CRISPY


fishing user avatarBass Tracker reply : 

Great job, looks like new! :(


fishing user avatarBassMaster_17 reply : 

Thanx for all the Replys, i already felt good abt how it turned out but now i feel even BETTER!!!! 8-)


fishing user avatarnjpaulc reply : 

First of all, that looks closer to a fullmake over than a partial.  Secondly,  how's it run?

It looks really great.

Around 24hrs total to this point here, i got the front deck extened now (will post some pics soon) and that took abt 10 hrs of here and there work i never got to just work on it solid probably could have knocked it out in 8hrs of solid work. Total hrs are around 34 hrs total not bad considering the condition it was in when i got it.


fishing user avatarArcticCat500 reply : 

hey BassMaster_17,

There's a product out there call Vertglas Gel Coat Restorer that will absolutly amaze you....this stuff is worth every penny you'll pay for it. The wife and I purchased and old Hurricane Deck Boat several years ago and came across this stuff at a local marine store, made the purchase and went home and went to work. The process will take you a weekend but the results will make your boat look brand new.

BTW...You did an awsome job.

fishing user avatarfishfordollars reply : 

Nice job, looks great. Only after you have tackled one do you realize the work that goes into it. A labor of love.


fishing user avatarcart7t reply : 

That boat cleaned up real nice. Enjoy.   8-)


fishing user avatarsmallie.huntin reply : 

Nice looking boat!  Now get out there and catch some bass.

I wish I had some of that gel coat restorer when I was cleaning my "new" boat up.


fishing user avatarXcoM274 reply : 

WOW! Great work thus far good sir! That gelcoat restorer looks like it would be the icing on the cake!
