Members CD7 Posted February 20, 2020 Members Share Posted February 20, 2020 Looking for recommendations on getting an older boat wet sanded, buffed and polished around the Springfield area. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 You might get it done at Championship Marine in Spokane. mixermarkb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I used to do a bunch of those in my younger days. It’s not hard to do. If you decide to take it on yourself let me know and I can get you going in the right direction. The main thing you have to figure out is if there is enough there to be able to make it better. That depends on how bad it is and the quality of the original finish. You would be surprised at how bad some of the boats that I started on were and most of them looked brand new when they rolled out of the shop. magicwormman and mixermarkb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixermarkb Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Shockey's boat and motor over on Bull Shoals does that, I think. They do pretty good work, but I've done a few of them myself. It's not difficult, just takes man hours and elbow grease. You can buy a variable speed buffer at harbor freight for like 30 bucks, a couple foam pads and two grades of 3m or ProTec polish, plus some sandpaper. I'm going to re-do both of my boats here in a week or two when I can catch decent weather and time off of work. magicwormman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great guys, great work, but very pricey! 6 Grand to shoot from the rub rails up on a 20 ft Ranger. Flysmallie and liphunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Maybe I should get back into repairing boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
