Well apparently we`re getting into boats now as well, so here is the latest one I`ve worked on. It is a 2006 Mobius wakeboarding boat with 500 hours! Wow, thats a lot for a 2006.



Was in terrible shape, oxidized from the continuous arizona sun. Just bought it for $27490, and flipped it for $49988. Money is definatly to be made on boats!



Anyways, exterior process is much different than a car. You can basically sit in one spot for a good 2-3 seconds and not burn the gel coats. So, my process was:



-Megs #49 on twisted wool pad at 2500 RPM

-Automagic Power Cut Plus to remove slight haze on cutting pad at 1000 RPM.

-3m Ultrafina SE via polishing pad at 2500 RPM

-Collonite wax



Interior:

Prairie West APC cut 40:1, and scotch bright pad for vinyl.

Collonite on gel coat

Carpets were cleaned with a pressurewasher, but they were fairly stained



Here are the pictures! What a nice boat, who ever bought this got a hellova deal, since they are $79000 right down the street for an identical boat with more hours!

Man, I got stuck doing a 25 year old fiberglass camper trailer, I think I`d shoot myself before trying a boat...after this situation I -hate- fiberglass things. :P



oddly enough I`m fixing my buddy`s race 749 that`s fiberglass bodywork :|

Oh no doubt, I had to work on this 2001 Vindicator and it took me 3 days and about a gallon of polish.
