Looks good! Wish my 20 was that shiny. Red Gelcoat fades real quik even after a good buff. Plus the previous owner did not belive in fenders. Time for a repaint soon.

It sure didn't look like that when I bought it. Your hand would be white if you rubbed it down the hull. I called it a semi gloss finish I used 3M Marine Fiberglass Cleaner and Wax for lightly oxidized finishes, pair that up with a Makita grinder with buffer pad and your in business, the stuff is really good. It brought the shine back on this hull so now its easy to keep up with. I just wish the inside of the boat shined like the outside to many corners and curves me maybe some day I'll spend some time on the inside

Great looking hull. Hope my 76' shines up as well.
Is the rub rail new? Sure looks like it. If so, where and what profile did you get?

Jon-

That hull looks awesome, great work.

It will be good to see everyone this summer.


I'm out of Yarmouth, see you on the water!
