It catches way more fish.

Sandblast it with baking soda. That'll fix her right up.
Hey Jesse, is that a shad net handle or a boom for barefoot waterski training?
Take me skiing and I'll pay for the ice for the cooler and the margaritas...:Big Grin:

That is Clear coat to protect the paint the best thing to do is to try to get all the rest of it off by water sanding it with fine sand paper and add wax after to protect what’s left of the paint don’t get your hops up too hi its an old boat.
