Zool i think oatmeal would have layed out better, i had to start with 400 and work my way up lol sam i started with 400 because of how deep the orange peel was but on a normal orange peel id start like 800 to 1k and work up to 3k then i used meguiars diamond cut with wool pad at 1500 rpm then to ultra finishing polish 205 with foam ,havent waxed yet wanna give it more time to be sure the finish is completely gassed out before waxing :)

I sanded my hull with 3m 1000 grit pads for the day saves on elbow grease then I did 1500 and 3000
overkill I know but I had them on hand I do auto body but it buffs out in no time
The diamond cut us a good choice
Keep up the good work

I think mickyryan and chevymaher are fakes... all this work and nothing to show! PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! :lol:

Plus anyone that puts maple syrup on a steak must be a unicorn!

LOL that is hardcore. Okay I will take a pic with the outdrive off. Want one of the torn apart bellows to Geeze. LOL

I was pissed at the lake after finding the leak so I didn't take a pic of the Titanic sinking. Believe me I meant to. I actually thought well fudge as I was pulling off because I remembered I forgot the pic.

picked up donor boat with v8 small block , decent trailer for 300 , had to drive 2.5 hrs to retrieve but boat needs a gut job exterior wise don't look bad, but the engine and outdrive were my score im going v8 in the trophy instead of 4 cyl or v6! :)

wont know until today but trailer had 4 new tires on it so i figured id not be at much a loss if its toast:) i will use the parts that work in swap and get parts that don't :) worst comes to worst i rebuild it :) my trophy was heavy for a 4 cyl and after i beefed it up i really feared not being able to get on plane so this fixes that:)
my bigger issue is i have all these 4cyl parts and engines to get rid of now , lol
