In all candor I don't see how you could perfect your boat technique any further.
That was not a recovery it was a rebirth!!! Is the swim platform teak or glass? | |

Thanks for the kind comments gang. I just want to reduce the amount of time it takes to get to this point, I'm sure I can shave some down.
The swim deck is teak, and we sanded it and then applied SEVERAL coats of oil. I'll post pics in time.
Cheers,
GREG

Just recently got into boats myself, your work looks amazing! I wish all my jobs were on a trailor  Everything in Tampa is on a lift and no one even owns a trailor. Makes getting a boat to this condition EXTREMELY difficult! | |

If you have to do any serious correction, you should push your customer to haul the boat out at a local boat yard and set it on work racks for you to work on it. This will save your back, your time, and your money!! Just a clean and wax can be done on a lift but when it comes to heavier correction ----> head to the boat yard. | |

Great job, did you need to remove any of the metal snaps or just work the polisher around them? | |
