Hi, I took delivery of my new H200 on June 30th totally new to boating. I dock in Lake Erie area, I have pulled it out of the water twice,to clean it today was the second time and I used Awesome spray cleaner with the magic sponges to clean the hull, it now shines line new again. No effort needed. The hardest part was laying under the boat whilst it was on the trailer in my driveway, it removed the green/brown stain you get from docking. I have justed clocked 75 hours on it,so obviously we use it lot.

It really looks like it hasn't been in the water
Ray :D

Awesome...nothing like getting her back to normal again. I've put my h250 in a slip for its 1st time (it was in dry-storage since purchased new) and it's getting that "water line", coffee stain looking thing on the hull. I've been scrubbing it every week when we take her out, but I was beginning to wonder if that line will ever come off completely. I was thinking of power washing it when she comes out in Oct or so.

Can you list which cleaning spray(s) you used in addition to the magic eraser sponges? (is that the magic sponges you referenced?)

Thanks in advance!

The stuff I Used my wife got from the Dollar Tree, Its called "NEW FORMULA. LA's Totally AWESOME" All Purpose Cleaner for Calcium, Lime , Rust. It really works great with Magic erasure sponges. We got the cheap magic sponges from Valu store about a dollar a twin pack for sponges and about a dollar for the cleaner. It that good the i am thinking of cleaning boats for some extra cash as the marina's want a dollar a foot to pressure wash :lol: Ray

Great information and thanks very much. I'm pretty psyched the scum-line will likely come off...it has been annoying the hell out of me since I couldn't get her in dry storage for this season.
