New Boat owner

[agentxc_02]

Last weekend my family went to the local boat marina show to look at boats. We end up buying one of the displayed boats. We got to wait 3 weeks to pick it up. The boat we got is 2012 Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport in mica black with 70 hp motor. I am asking what kind of prep in detailing/protecting the hull before getting the boat into the water. The boat is the far right boat.

I m looking forward to lots of boating fun in the near future.

There`s little to do to aluminum. A good sealant on the painted surfaces may help with water spotting. Protecting the upholstery & dash with Aerospace 303 would be a smart move. Nice rig, a 70 should push that 32-35 mph with a light load. I would suggest this for the painted surfaces:

It will also make the tow vehicle look like a million bucks!
