Drying the boat
 
How is everyone drying their boat after a wash? On Sunday nights I need to get it dry so I can put the full cover on the boat. Towels just take too long, so I was thinking about a California Water Blade. Any other options?

If you want it really dry you need to use towels. The flat surfaces can be done with a squeegee but they do not work so well on angles.

I have a water deionizer that I rent by the month. It is the same as the car lots use to keep there vehicles clean. No drying needed at all. It dries completely spot free.

Adam, that is a MASSIVE boat for a two axle trailer. Holy crap!

I use the Water Blade, and the Absorber, (available at Wal-Mart in purple even). Touch up with a towel. For even easier work... I have a water blade attached to a long aluminum pole.
