    Just scored a Lund Tyee GL with 150 Verado.

    Wondering what others do to take care of glass boats? What about the motor exterior? I’ve heard wiping down the boat and motor after use is common practice. What about waxing, how often? The underbelly on my boat is white and the sides are black and sliver glitter. I guess Im less concerned about the boat than the motor given it’s black and plastic with many more angled surfaces to clean. I’ve heard products mentioned that one can spray on after use that will eliminate water spots. Suggestions appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Congrats on the new rig.

    Gregg from the SBC hooked me up with this product. I’m not sure it’s as great as they claim on the website videos. However it is pretty awesome stuff and does keep the boat looking showroom clean after being in the scummiest of waters. I wipe the boat down every time I’m done boating. Unless I’m in a huge hurry.

    i wipe down the scum like almost every trip out unless im in a hurry or its extremly hot out. otherwise maybe every few weeks when the water spots build up i wipe down with a maybe 5 to 1 ratio of water to viniger. it stinks for a while haha buts its CHEEP and works great!

    I would wax it at least once a year using a top quality marine wax and then apply a sealer to the wax. To maintain over the course of the year I second the Bass Boat Saver. It is a great product. Keep a spray bottle in the boat with a couple towels and you can quickly wipe the boat down after taking it out.

    Not an answer to your question but wondering if you have any affiliation with FRB {Freedom Rock Band} out of LZ Iowa. Great tunes and memories.

    Negative – I was given that nick name while in the Navy. At the time there was a KTEl (or similar) brand set of albums called “Freedom Rock” comprised of classic rock music. The commercials for the albums included a couple hippies in a VW bus. I guess I fit the bill of the hippies and classic rock is on my blood, thus Freedom Rock.
