Modern conservatism. pretty much the case. just wonder how he figures it makes the rich richer Wow. two dumb statements in a row. Seriously Bobby, Waxing a boat in the water is hard enough but compounding? that's going to take a "liberal" amount of elbow grease. You really need to get your back into it. Are you really planning on standing in water with an electric buffer in hand? Hope everything works out for you. Jim |

A true conservative would find a way to secure the vessel so a proper job could be done. I've done plenty of compounding while the boat is docked. Just a matter of positioning it in a way that the veseel is held fast. The rest depends on muscles and leverage. |

There are crews who come to the marina to wash, buff and wax boats while the boats are in the water. Maybe the fake flajim posting here could get a job wiping the sweat off the brows of these hard-working crews. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing |

I always have my boats in showroom condition, both mechanically and cosmetically prior to launch. Good planning reduces or eliminates the need to do the sort of maintenance you speak of. Any respectable marina would throw out any boat owner who would compound his boat while other boaters were trying to enjoy their summer dockage. |
