Looks great! I should have sanded mine some, I was using compound and softscrub to cut it. Gelcoat is so hard when old that wheel will tear you up.:) I blew the gears in a wheel on one boat, had to get a better one.

Finesse-It is 3M's liquid polishing compound.

I love the 3M products.. Unfortunatly the sun will soon return a shiny finish like that to dull/oxidized .. Get some kind of full cover if you can ..

I don't think anyone notice but the before picture is on a sunny day and the after is on an overcast day.

Imagine what it looks like in the sun!

Mine looks like it faded some over the winter. It was under a canvas cover in a dark garage all winter. Darn gelcoat. I'll have to freshen it up.

I think the guy who sold you this boat should have put a little elbow grease into this boat and he would have more than $900 for it.

Hell he had a Force 120 on it, I wouldnt want to be seen in it with that motor on it.

May the force be with you. :D Sorry I couldn't resist. Boat looks great, keep her good and waxed so the shine lasts and it is protected.

That thing looks great! Nice deal. Mine does not look as bad as I thought, I did not realize it was full of dust under the cover for some reason. Fortunately for me, the one I buffed was only a bayliner...so I could leave the Force on it:D :D :eek: :rolleyes:

and to think thats my favorite boat in my favorite color.

Good Job man, have fun with it.

I just got an old Vector project.....only it's turd brown.
Matches my turd brown Blazer.

That Blue/Black metalflake really was the best paint scheme I've ever seen.
