New Member, inherited my buddies 2000 293

[Freelport]

Hello Everyone, I am going to have some questions that I can't ask my departed buddy about his boat. Going to de-winterize and paint the hull today. The batteries are probably dead.

Thanks in advance, Scott

That's a lot of boat. Does the hull need painting instead of a sanding or buffing? Baltimore suggests it may be a saltwater boat, so I'll let others chime in with their saltwater hull maintenance experience.

Roger that. I changed the title.
A good buff and wax will bring that gel coat alive. Not a repaint.

Agree with A7- Buff & wax will make her shine. If she's kept in saltwater, could you have been referring to bottom paint?
