Re: Vaseline hull application
+1 on the Vaseline! Worked great on my 1986 Sea Ray. My family and friends can't get over how good my shiny RED boat looks, especially since it was a horrendous chaulky pink before. It didn't take much time at all, including a coat of wax on top of it.
I have owned a new boat before and even when new, I waxed my boat a few times a season. It looks like I won't even have to put that much work into my 25 year old Vaselined hull. I did it last August and it still looks great. I figure a couple times a season should do it.
Regarding resale, I think it depends on what boat you are talking about. Mine is a 25 year old bow rider. If I did sell it, it would probably be worth more than many other similar boats that old just because it is the correct color and shiny.
