I hope I remember the 3 feet up when it comes to that.... Looks nice. Just love the way these boats look out of the water....

Re: Polishing
So, the name came off, but it looks like I will have to paint the transom. I don't have a picture handy, but at a couple edges of the old letters the Imron wore off (via the Easy Off cleaning process). But more importantly, the paint beneath the letters is simply too different from the rest. Shame actually, because the paint overall is in excellent condition. Has anyone tried just piainting a rectangle that matched the color of the rest of the paint? I saw on the archives here people mentioning Awlgrip using tip and roll. Which Awlgrip product was this?

Re: Polishing
Prior to me buying my 53’ the captain hit the corner of the concrete dock and put a 6’long deep scratch on the starboard side mid ship. I had the yard patch and fill the damage. Mind you it was about 1” wide by 6” long. When I went to pick the boat up the patch was 2”x 8’ and the color was off. I was pissed. The yard owner stated that they needed to wait about 30 days for it to cure out so they could wet sand and buff out. When it was done I couldn’t believe it. I could not see the patch.

I'm going to try F11 on a small area and see how it goes.

I love F-11! Unbelievable on the cars & motorcycle. I did the outside wet bar on my 40' but did not seem to do much.

Re: Polishing
On the 40 double cabin, the wet bar is on the deck backing up to the bridge. It is all fiberglass. Only showed a difference for a very short time. Within a couple weeks looked like it was never touched. Again on the cars and motorcycle I have never used a product this good.
