Hull repairs
Recently I have noticed some roughening on the front of the keel on my 190 bay. It appears this is from my wife and I pulling the boat up on the beach on the side of the ICW near Oak Island, NC. I guess some shells in the sand must have roughened it up. Apparently the ropolene is acutual vulnerable shells. Now the damage is not terrible by any means, but I'd like to smooth the keel back out to minimize resistance through the water. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about this? I'm thinking about using some sandpaper. That would smooth the surface and take out some of the gouges caused by the shells, but still leave surface somewhat rough. I'm sure somebody has the right technique and your thoughts would be appreciated. I guess next time we should anchor the boat adjancent to the beach.
Thanks again, Wade

Wade,
Use the search engine from the menu above...there are lots of posts on how to sand down and polish the hull. In a quick overview...use sandpaper to remove the imperfections and then go over the area with really fine grit sandpaper (600 or smaller). Then use a regular car polish buffer to go over the area to bring back the shine. I hope this helps. Tight lines.

I say leave them... Every boat needs a few "War Wounds" to prove it's been fishing! Ha-Ha...

Why work so hard?
Find a beach with coarse beach sand, beach the boat a few times to remove the dings. Then, find a beach with fine sand, beach the boat a few times to remove the rough sanding marks. Then, buff with Lambs Wool buffer to remove all remaining sanding marks.
