Long Winter...on Water today :0)
It's looking better...ran great! I re-did cowling during snowstorms...not completely done but pretty cool.
Was sooo nice just being "on the water" w/ the family :0) Oh...and going really fast.

Looks good! I like the cowl for sure.
Makes me kinda sad though. Still no open water here and still a bit of snow on the boat here but give it a week and it will be all gone im sure.
I cant wait to get ripping on that thing.

Still driving trucks on the lake here. It'll be a month or so before the ice is gone. That's ok because my powerhead still isn't fixed.

Well, it's kinda high-tech. Hair dryer:0) Tried goo-gone, oops...nothing worked. Hair dryer doesn't get too hot like heat gun to damage fiberglass. It is time consuming and need to clean remaining residue with goo-gone and elbow grease. Finish with Meguiars Oxidation Remover. Wax with Liquid Glass. Make it shine w/ Yacht Brite.
Credit card scraper also helps with difficult sections. I'm ordering pinstriping and should be done next week w/ mine.
I used Mercury Phantom black to fill in every little ding, sprayed into cap and used match (tip from Lakeside Marina) ripped side and it really worked.
Hope that helps.

I use a eraser wheel on a drill to remove stickers, but try it in a place that doesn't show first. It works good but it's still a pain.
I took a ride on the lake today looking at race sites.
