You need to take him up on the offer, ice fishing is a blast. What res. have you been fishing to get all the scum this year ?

been fishing Big Creek. Probably averaging 2-3 times a week, so was out there a lot. I did pretty good at wiping the top portion of the boat down after getting off the lake, but didn't do too good at the bottom half. Lots of times that I headed out there, I would have limited time, so didn't do much clean-up after getting off the lake. I only live about 3 miles from the dock, so had lots of opportunities to get out for short periods of time. Figured that fishing, and cleaning fish was more important than cleaning the boat. I think I made the right decision . I have the left side cleaned up. It looks pretty good. I'll do the right side soon.

Wow, it took me a while to do the right side, but I found something that really works good, and it's cheap! I tried some white vinegar, about 50/50 mix with water. Applied with a rag, came back about 5 minutes later, and it was coming off with a bit more elbow grease. This was much better than any of those expensive "so called" hull cleaners.
