Need help finding fiberglass hull cleaner,,
Hi Folks,
I have just a small 15ft fiberglass open bow ski boat. I am it's second owner, and the first owner left it in the river about 8 months every year. Problem is he never cleaned the scum and grime from the underside. The whole bottom of the boat now feels like 80 grit sandpaper. I realize cleaning this mess up won't be easy, but can anyone recommend a good cleaner to help remove the scale? I thought the fiberglass was actually damaged but that does not seem to be the case. My trailer has bunks without rollers and I have found that the areas that slid on the bunks are scale free, this includes the recent areas where I hit the bunks a little off to the side. As scaled up as the bottom is it would seem I may be losing a few MPH on the top end. It will be interesting to do a before/after speed check. Thanks all! |
