Re: 3 weeks to boating
I'll be buffing the sides of the boat tomorrow.
Wife has the day off today, she's getting it ready for me to buff.
While I buff, she's going to work on the bottom
Goes in in 2-3 weeks.

Re: 3 weeks to boating

Re: 3 weeks to boating
Yup, someone was waxing their boat today, standing on the snow drifts.......the only one in the yard with no cover on..... 
Guess what we have in a few more days????

Re: 3 weeks to boating
Im thinking the chemical bonding won't happen properly when hull is below 10C ( 50F) especially if the cleaner function is chemical instead of mechanical....I don't know just a guess....
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: 2 weeks to boating
Good morning intrepid northern boaters....well as the sign says 2 weeks to golf/boating now......it is -4C out ( 25F )....the bay is still frozen but there are some encouraging spots and the sun is out. Later we will go round to see how the investment faired with the big wind last night ( fingers crossed ) 
One thing, this spring melt has been very slow ( still 3ft between the boats ) and I believe has relieved a lot of the usual flooding which is a very good thing for many people.....

Plan 2014 sure is raising hell on the southern & eastern shores of the lake, not to mention the St. Lawrence Seaway and A-Bay area's with high water levels!
Heard something that they actually like the lake level up for shipping and are thinking of raising it another 2 feet..
Not really.....A.F. day

Re: 2 weeks to boating
Here today 62 degrees F. Calling for an inch or two of snow tomorrow morning and highs just barely above 50 and lows just above freezing next weekend.
I am scheduled to launch on the 18th but you can't properly compound and wax below 55-60 degrees.
