    I'd like to see some pics of your deck, I've done several including my own. The deck is massive!

    What is best way to do a small section not the complete boat?

    It's just white looking.Small scratches.
    THANKS DUDE

    Hey Dave, glad to see you got that raggedy old Stratos into some semblance of presentabilty. When you get those deck plans drawn up, I'll be expecting a copy.

    Hey Jim,
    Haven't heard from you in a while. I'll take some picks of the extension tonight. I think that is probably all you will need talk to you soon

    RE: bass boat restoration

    I would think the same process would work, or at least make it look a little better. Just be sure to wet sand by hand and constantly feel for a very smooth surface. Also, make sure you don't sand too much off, you don't want to get into the flake at all. Clean it first, wet sand with 1500 a bit, clean and feel for smooth surface and if necessary sand a bit more. Finish with 2000 also wet, then buff with 3m perfect-it III. I'm not a pro at this at all, and you may need to feather the sanded ares into the unsanded, I just don't know, when I went to do mine, it was real hard to put that sandpaper to it at first, then I figured how much worse could it be. I'm glad it turned out, maybe you could have someone look at it just to see if it can be buffed out. I'd hate for you to not get the results you were hoping for, and me be the guy that told you to do it!
    Good luck,Chefdave
