Boat Project

Part one of the boat restoration project that Wes and I have taken on. So far we have made good progress with building a deck for the bow and cleaning the boat itself off. We still have a lot of work to do on the motor but its a work in progress so I will post the progress as it comes!

i need advice on polishing the aluminum like you did. my boat had been painted like three times. i finally got all the paint off.. now i'm ready to make it shine. do you use a buffer?

@paperchase213 I would definitely recommend using a buffer..we did it all by hand and it took quite a while to break through all those years of nasty buildup. It'll take a few coats to get it to that nice mirror shine, so be ready to put some time into it!
