The No Wake Zone / Re: How to polish???
« on: September 13, 2014, 10:07:07 PM »
I took a old dryer motor welded a threaded bolt on it put on a buffing pad mounted  it to my bench. Bought a polishing bar (green one)and wd 40 and went to town on my engine mount, ride plate. First time polishing and it came out mirror finish. Wd 40 was the trick tho. Doing my intake trying to knock down the cast flashing should of sent it out pain in the ass sanding. If you have money to spend send it out.

Might be a dumb question but I do not know. My question is. Is there a spot where  you can go and just beach anywhere for the night or two to set up to camp? That was my best times with my dad in the Midwest.just curious I would like to do the same with my kids

I used mekp and add styrene wax.it dried pretty quick. I turned my buddies garage into a paint booth and with a exhaust fan. Luckily he lives out in the boonies cause this stuff is strong smelling

I just scuffed up the orginal gel for primer and used a 180 grit for that but for the gel I just followed the directions. First time shooting gel it came out real smooth no orange peel. I'm pumped to finish this boat
