King Fisher · 02-12-2004, 09:34 AM

There was a post about a guy who refinishes aluminum boats, I cant find it. I even had his phone number, but I lost it. Does anyone have that info they could send me a pm. He lives in sw portland.

Did you do a search? Also, did you read one of the past STS issues? There's a fairly new product on the market used for cleaning sleds.

I tried a search and couldn't find anything. I sold my boat and the person buying it wants someone to do it for him. Any help appreciated.

I'd be interested in this guy also. Seems to me he was in Milwaukie but not sure. He wasn't an ifish sponsor so it's kind of a touchy subject. Might have to communicate with a PM but I'd like to know too.

Tell me you didn't sell your ride Rick. You got something else to float on yet?

Just read your post and thought I might mention to you when I had my duckworth I used a polish called What a Shine.It sure works great, made the boat shine and looked like a mirror.You can get it at a truck stop.The truckers use it to polish there rigs.It's work though.use a buffer.Hope this helps.

Use "polish" as your keyword and search 2003 archives. Also click here.

Does anyone have the phone # for Bob Graham Polishing, or anyone else who does this?

Heavy Metal Polish is pretty good stuff. the outfit that makes it used to be located in the little business park across from the Troutdale Airport. They buffed out boats for a pretty reasonable price.Les Schwab carries the polish in 3 different grade at the front desk.

OOOHHH YEAH!!!! I had by booth at the show, and got to talk to a few people. I was telling Paul at Stevens that I wanted to get a boat in a couple years. I needed to pay off a couple things first. We'll he asked a few questions and figured if I sold my boat and added my tax refund I could pay our debt we needed to pay. Long story short, I put a deposit on a new intruder and take delivery next week. I will post pics-if I figure out how. Now I need to hitch a ride for sturgeon next week.
