The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

I have the stock tower on my 242 LS. I got the standard clamp. It comes with inserts to fit different sized up to 2.5”.
 
What year is your Boat just want to make sure maybe we have the same one.
 
Since it's going to be cool this weekend and had a spare bit of time it was time to fix the manufacturer installed rotary buffer trails. The gel coat on this, for brand new, was in pretty rough shape. Polished out all the defects easily using a large throw orbital, meguiars M105, and a foam cutting pad. Did a single step polish and the clarity is damn near perfect. Topped it with a ceramic sealant. Not a fan of ceramic coatings for boats, personally. It did cross my mind as I always have plenty in stock.

@suke , you just cost me money in that I need the exterior of my boat cleaned and polished but don’t have the skill, time or tools moreover motivation to do it myself. So I will call for a quote from a Mobil service later this morning. Thanks, I think,

@suke That looks Fn wonderful. I'm sure everybogy here would here you. I would. No doubt this is not your first time polishing. Please explain your background so we can all follow in your footsteps. :winkingthumbsup"

I've been detailing on the side for 20 years. Def not my first rodeo. :) With a young family I don't take on near as many side jobs as I used to.
 
Cleaned the engine bay and treated all the painted parts with Reload as well. Then coated the engine and accessories with CRC.

Ceramic coated the wake tower and soundbar with Dlux from carpro. I generally have all their stuff on hand, hence why I use it a lot. That and I love the stuff. Really makes that yellow look dripping wet.

Little windy today so some dust settled on this before I could get a pic.
