She run a little slower than yours by the looks,,, bottom paint?

23, things about her that bother me,, plastic through hull fittings (scuppers etc.),,, screw in deck plates (not latch type),,,, I rewired & changed a ton of connections to marine with shrink wrap connecters,,,, one biggy is the non skid deck,,, I realize this may be hard for you to avoid on a new rig but there tough to keep clean. I'm not a scrub clean every trip guy but on occasion it's a bear trying to get the stains out,,,
I wonder if a power washer would work without wrecking the surface,,,,, hmmmmm

HTH, Gup

Agree on the non-skid deck but I just throw a gallon of bleach in her when I leave. The sun and the bleach turn everything white. Clammer thought my boat never got dirty. He and Dennis pull up next to me today and my boat is covered in blood. Dennis says "I thought our boat never gets dirty". Oh it gets dirty but I CLEAN it after every run.

BTW, I do have bottom paint but only on the smile line and transom. I run so much my boat's bottom doesn't need it. Of course if I keep hitting rocks they way I have for the past week I' gonna need a new hull.
