My boat is getting wet sanded and detailed. As soon as that’s fine I hope to get some fishing in.

Wet a line with my 12yo off the pier in our neighborhood yesterday. Was hoping for some puffers, got nothing. No bites.

I wet sanded mine two or three years ago. Looked good for a couple years then started fading again. I may have to do it again next year.

I will take 2 or 3 years versus 2 or 3 months! I am going to hire a professional, too much work.

Fishnfool has the answer to fading paint.

Here is a few pics from a couple of weeks ago out of Hillsboro Beach, FL. Great trip for 2 hours of fishing. Unfortunately had a blow out on the way home.

O shoot, I thought you were referring to the wind. That put a damper on a perfectly good day thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Steve Not finished but here are some before and after pictures. However, detailer shared it was the most difficult gelcoat to sand. She had to work much harder to get the color to pop. This is an experienced detailer and works for most of the boat dealers in town. Said a dealer that used to sell Sailfish told her Sailfish had a problem with the Orange gelcoat and stopped using it. She hand sanded it and advised I won’t get another wet sand out of it. But if I wax regularly I can preserve it for a while.

Looks real nice, hope mine comes out as good. The blue was a problem as well from what I hear.
