Wanaflatsfish Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Was supposed to head to Choko with my buddy Capt. DonH....up at 0230, Peanutbutter sandwiches ready, dill pickles, a Yetti thermos full of colombian coffee, rods all worked on the night before.....and the Holy Ghost, pimped and ready....spent about 4 hours working on her yesterday.... 1.) check the tire pressure 2.) Check the hubs - did a quick squirt of new grease 3.) Batteries full of charge from the overnight slow charge 4.) Deck's scrubbed 5.) A final coat of Woody Wax and she was ready....then came the rain....here's a few pics of the deck....you can see how it beads the water...this is the second application this month.. Some pics.....no fees....but, at least it's feeeshing ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Juice Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Cleaned SMURFETTE up yesterday too. I went with the Starbright wax bc Woodys was unavailable and I was hellbent on cleaning the sled. It is nice to see the water just bead off. If I can't take her out I might as well give her a spa day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Nice....they always look "naked" without a poling platform....

Nag Juice Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I know, it drives me crazy. I'll have one on it this summer. I'm trying to work a deal on one now. I just need @whichwaysup to get a jack plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Was bored and did mine too. Well, actually I keep wax on it (Meguiar's TechWax) so I just decided to polish her up a bit with Meguiar's Speed Detailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Rain hit here too. No cleanirg for me today, but i did get my bow lights working, solved a mystery issue on my HDS unit, and addressed the poppet valve yesterday. I think the shark eye lights will be replaced this year, and the new poppet valve is being shipped, so I get to do two of these projects twice. Oh, and I have a bottle of hurricane recommended hull stain remover sitting on my desk waiting for me to decide what hull wax to use after. May do shark hyde again at least for the areas below the waterline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sled is slick as glass..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HewesYourDaddy Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 All arms and shoulders to get that shine. I never really had to work real hard at it since the previous owner took care of it, and it never sees more than a full day in the sun or elements. I'm gonna miss her when I sell. Edit: Thanks guys (sarcasm). All this talk about waxing and I decided to wax and detail the whole boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunFlatsFishing Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Magic erased and speed detailed mine for a few hours today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I feel for you guys as I watched the lower pat of the peninsular get soaked this weekend. Please redirect some of that rain North as we are approaching a 12 inch deficit for the year and brush fires plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtaco Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 How you liking that ProV wannaflatsfish? Thinking about buying one and selling my 90hp Yammie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about buying one and selling my 90hp Yammie. Too early to tell...but, so far, once I got the kinks out...it runs perfectly... It has a carb job, new impeller, new fuel pump, plugs, filter on engine, razor, new filters in all the oil sumps, etc. It does *** the gas...my mpg is only 3.5-4 max, but, hole shot etc is excellent. Give me a year and I"ll give you the full skinny. dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
