Got the boat home on Thursday night! Started cleaning it up as it needed a real good buff and wax to bring back the Red color. Plan to enjoy it this afternoon pending the weather and finish buffing/waxing this morning!

Before:





Removed the Baja logo (I like clean/simple/sleek)
Buffed

Thanks, yes it is. It will need one more pass of a slightly abrasive compound, then a polish and wax to get it where i'd like it. Nothing to it but time and work!

Replace or cover that 502 with the old Baja sun logo. I love those for some reason.

No kidding. When I saw the first pic I was going to suggest wet sanding. But then I saw the after pics and it turned out great!

The Baja looks good. I took my 22' Donzi on a 170 mile round trip to Put-in-Bay last week. Had a great time and a true off-shore run.

Nice boat, I have the same hull.

Quick suggestion, add some cleats mid-ship right beside your bolsters, and add some way out on the bow. Gives more options for tying up and makes your life a lot easier.
