Thanks, any pictures from the Keys? A little salt won't hurt it when you clean it as you do.

Here's a few pics. Anything on the transom that was underwater had a coating of lime or or phosphorus or something on it that was a beeotch to get off. Props (that were brand new), the trim rams, tie bar, #6 tie bar mounts, etc... had to be scrubbed and it took me a few days to get it off. The boat was in the water for 5 and a half days, that's obviously too long! I ended up using some stuff called CLR and it made it all look like new again. Boat is still in Florida. We're going down next week to do one more event (FMO run) and then I'm taking it north...for the summer...

In my opinion, the Florida Keys are the best boating that I've experienced. That stretch of water between Gilberts and Islamorada is awesome with the blue water! Can't wait to do it again!!

That's a great stretch to run. Sunshine Key to Key West is another run that's hard to beat.

Your boat looks great as always Craig & sounds like it's running just as good

We are used to the Coating, I think it is Calcium. We use Muratic acid to remove. Dont get it on the plastic. Great on Stainless Props but need to coat with oil afterwards to season the metal again. Great Pictures. Bring the boat back and run to Key West with us in Nov. Beautiful Boat. Have a great Summer.
