hard to believe, just a few weeks ago it was that caked with all that gunk.
did you have any issues with the fiberglass repairs under there?

Try a few months ago,lol 
Thanks man, I think the film discs went a long way to polishing it. I compounded by hand after 1000 and it just shined right up.
About $250 bucks, but thats not including my time of coarse. Beat 3G to 4G at a boat yard. I see why they charge what they do, it is alot of work. But its reasonably cheap if you have the time. Most of the expense was for the film discs. Then some wasted on strippers that I had tried. Thankyou sir, I don't know what brand I used, but the ones I bought were from ebay. Just make sure the shaft is long enough to get through the thickness of the transom. If you are wanting to be able to run multiple wires or run a plug for your electronics through it to fish forward to your helm without splicing , I would suggest you get atleast a 1 1/4, 1 1/2, maybe even a 2" truhull fitting. Most have dog ears on the inside, I ground them out just to be able to get my wires run. Think it is a 1 1/4" thruhull fitting. Just what I had laying around. It makes for a very clean look and all the wires come out the same hole which is nice. Don't forget to silocone or lifeseal the inside of the fitting after you have run your wires so no insects and water can enter.
Lol, man, you must have been seeing triple or quintuple or something.lol 48 rollers total, but who's counting,lol I would like to add another crossmember and 24 more rollers just for sh!ts and giggles thoughCongrats CC, Looks freeekin awwwsum!
I tried counting the rollers, but it is so shiny I lost count around 327 or was it 328...???
Dude! I can see my reflection in the hull from Nashville! WOW!
