I'm in the middle of polishing my 268 with the Starbrite polish with PTFE, and it looks amazing. Water beaded up as I was washing it, and it hasn't been applied since July. Granted, it was in indoor storage over the winter. |

Granted, it was in indoor storage over the winter. At the risk of turning this into a polish thread (let's not), fire - are you using it in lieu of traditional wax as many people are and have suggested doing? |

Yes, I am. A friend with a SR 340DA has 6 coats on his so far. He's been using it solely for 10+ years and it works perfect. I am very impressed. Pics to follow in a new thread once I take the boat back to storage in a few hours. |

Any 348/358 owners (or dealers that stock em') going to be near the boat in the next 24 hours? I need a quick and easy measurement. Thanks! |

The springtime rite of passage is complete...  At her temporary spot 'till the slips get water & power this weekend...  In the words of my mechanic, "The engines started like it was the middle of summer." Now that's what you want to hear when you go to pick up your boat. Here we go...!

I splash today. Just heading to the Jersey shore now. About an hour away. Looks like the wind has died down here in NNJ hope it's the same at the shore. It was blowing pretty good yesterday. I"ll give you a report tonight. |

Duplicating this post from another thread to keep all V358 topics in one place for future reference... I finally got around to getting a mat for my swim platform, something I've wanted since buying the boat. Up until now I have always had a carpet runner on the platform when dockside or at anchor. I never run with it on the platform and did not want snaps protruding from the deck. Based on the weight and form of this mat it is not going anywhere when the boat is idle.     I am completely thrilled with what I got. The most challenging part of the process was making the template because of the unique shape of the swim platform on the V358 - it took about an hour an a half. This is the Ultra Teak AquaMat from Corinthian Carpet with a vinyl backing they call 'UltraLoc' that appears to be very durable and clearly a better alternative to the backing of Four Winns' factory carpet. The construction is excellent and the fit is perfect based on the template I provided. Nick, who has posted here before, provided excellent service and was able to turn the job around very quickly, although their processing time will vary depending on the size of the order, how many orders they are processing and availability of the specific carpet. I know from my discussions with Nick that the Ultra Teak is in high demand. The product sells for $9/square foot for everything. In this case, my order was 48 sf (12 x 4) for a total cost of $432. I'll keep you posted on how it holds up, but based on my experience so far, I can recommend Nick and his product without hesitation. |

Looks very nice indeed! But with the isinglass, the cockpit cover, the sun pads, the pad for the table to convert it to a sun lounger, I just don't know where to stow everything and still have room to sleep and heaven forbid actually have place for a cooler or extra guests!
