Looking good Brian! I love your 21 footer. They ride like cadillacs! What kind of speeds are you seeing in that hull?
How much are those pads?

After 4000 grit sanding...I washed it...and between all steps its washed ...I buffed with 3m super duty with a superbuff wool pad...after that I switched to a white foam pad ...and ran over it with Rolite mild compound....[Its called pre cleaner....good stuff]...and then switched to a black foam pad and applied a coat of terminator teflon paint sealant...which works great on fiberglass.....I was afraid of more rain....and having no where to put it inside as all my shops are full at home...I took it back to my building at the lake .....once inside I went over it by hand with Dri Wash & guard........and it looks like a new penny......now when I pull out ...a quick wipedown with a damp rag leaves everything...including the transom bright and shiney agin ..in about 5 minutes...

Brian...the boats looks great, hopefully everyone reads the part about the 3/32" stroke DA...and take note the a regular DA with the same media will raise hell on the gell....
But thats besides the point, and enough about the boat..........was that PINK primer on the truck next to the boat????:idea:

WOW, real nice shine and a great looking boat!
But let's see what you can do with the Ford Ranger in the background!:devil:
