Jim, did you actually wax the fiberglass and not the graphics? I can see avoiding the plastic bits, but I also want to maximize the life of the graphics.

What do most people do who use 303: wax the graphics or 303 them?

No, you cannot use 303 with wax. We use 303 only, never wax. 303 on graphics, no wax on anything.

Pay some one else to wash and wax it at the boat yard works like a champ.

Hey there fellow "A" Lister ... good to hear from you again. Did you get that 45 acres you were talking about at one time? How's your trailer and have you done other trips besides hunting trips?

Been wondering what you have been up to,

Tom

Hey Tom,
We ended up not buying that particular piece of property, but I'm still keeping an eye out.

My family and I have been doing some camping here in NH and having lots of fun, last spring we visited a friend of the family down in Kentucky and had an absolute blast! I'm looking forward to doing that again, perhaps next spring!

Are you enjoying not cleaning( and smelling ) a camper bathroom? I sure am!! ��

I work in cyber security as a consultant and engineer, which means I travel pretty much everywhere in North America, and even sometimes South America and overseas.

And yes, I've been up there before, in White Mountain National Forest, several years ago. To say it's beautiful is an understatement. You are blessed.
