What do you guys use after she is just out of the water on the trailer? I like to go over mine with a towel and extremely diluted simple green and water. Any suggestions on other things to use?

Turtle Wax Ice Synthetic Detailer works great on the all black hull. It is the only product I have found that does not streak --even in the sun.

We sponge it off with clean water and then a quick dry with towels. Nothing too particular, just getting the mud line off the hull (thanks to our great Kansas lakes :roll: ).

So NOT ONE of you take the boat HOME????

I let it air dry for about 20 min on the way home, put it in it's designated parking spot, put all the toys away..... then pass out on the couch.

I take mine home! With saltwater 95% of our use, flush the engine and hose boat off. Get the first mate to mix the gel coat wash with water and scrub with soft brush and rinse.

Most of my use is salt water also, so get it home, flush the motor with Salt Away then with a pressure washer hose down the trailer (especially the brakes) hull and interior first with just fresh water, but then a final rinse all over with the left over Salt Away. Let it dry in the sun for an hour or so, then put it away in the garage until next time.

Me too. I'd get 4-5X the use out of it.

Why would I do that? I have an old toilet out there to hold the flowers.
