Finally got the boat detailed, what a difference! :)
Back in December, at a San Diego gathering of Hot Boaters, my better half won a gift certificate from Orion Custom Boats in El Cajon, Martin was there to offer it up, for a detailing to a boat.
We finally found a time to bring the boat back to SD and made an appointment with Martin to get the boat out there.
We dropped it off on a Monday, at the same time checked out the boats in progress in the shop. They lay up boats for Ultra as well as their own line. Pretty cool stuff going on there, nice colors on the ones that were finished.
Anyway, on Wednesday of that week, Martin called me and said the boat was done. I was not really sure what to expect, but when I walked in that evening to pick it up, I was in awe :jawdrop: . My boat looked like new ! :D
They really did a fantastic job. The entire hull and cockpit area was sanded and buffed. There were several gel coat scratches and nicks on the outside, the previous owner did not respect his property that well, which were all but eliminated during the detail proccess. All the colors now stand out very well.
Needless to say, the folks at Orion did a great job and I would suggest if you are in the area, drop in a check the place out.
We are very pleased with the results and wish to thank Martin for his generous gift certificate, and the time spent on our boat and the shop tour.
