If bleach doesn't work, try vinigar.

Apple or wine? :)


wine, a BIG bottle. Let's just get the wine, sit on the boat and wait
for it to turn to vinegar. Better get one for the wait....

Neither of the two below should have bleach in them.

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

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.
