be very careful with any bleaches--check the Boston Whaler site under
maintenance and they say bleaces may yellow the gel coat--recommend acid
type cleaners

OxyClean works REALLY well...
Mix some in a spray bottle of hot water.. spray it on, wait a min or two,
and with a sponge alone you can remove about 90% of that stuff...
A product called "slimy-grimy" is supposed to be great, but it's like 20
something bucks/bottle.....

I am considering buying a used boat. The boat is in excellent condition.
The only problem is that the boat was keept in water and there is a
brown water stain at the bottom. Is there a way to get this off.


thanks

Neither of the two below should have bleach in them.

Mark, I guess everyone is assuming this is a fibeglass/gelcoat boat rather
than aluminum. Although, I'm kind of surprised they'd be throwing out
advice without knowing. So what is it? I can help you if it's aluminum.
