Probably just a quick wash and light wax, power wash the interior and
we're off and running.

The new hull bottom looks real good - changed the lines of the boat
quite a bit - I didn't notice that when I picked it up in December.
Here's some images.

Season's getting closer - maybe first run next week.

Tom, you've got rust on that fender!

And interesting, that the green metalflake has now turned blue.
That is except in the pic that I saved and now it's black.

Mold problem?

Fix your monitor.- Hide quoted text -

it's fine. it show's the mold and rust quite nicely!

That "rust" appears to be a rusty tie down ring of some type. Either Ranger
or Tom didn't opt for the much more expensive non-rusting type. 8-)

I just went out and looked at that - didn't notice it.

Must have not been non-magnetic stainless. I ran into that on the
trailer in another place - up where the bow post is clamped to the
trailer frame. I have three big 1/2 clamps securing the bow post to
the trailer and last year, one rusted over winter. Removed it and
used a magnet - sure enough.

The "mold' you are seeing is the edge of the carpeted bunk rails.

New carpet and bunks this year too.

Next year, probably stainless discs and new calipers.
