New Boat

[David Walters]

Just bought a new Pro Team 175 Merc 40 ELPTO. Upgraded from a 1983 Bass Tracker III. Loved the old boat, but just too many maintenance/repair issues. Anybody got some suggestions on keeping the "tin" looking new? Thanks.

Did it come with a cover?

 

[David Walters]

Nope. But it did come with a "free" $500 Bass Pro Gift Card which Tracker will mail to me. I guess I'll get a cover with that. (And, of course, some other goodies)!

Congrats. Someone else here talked about 'sharkskin', or something along that line. Do a search on 'shark'.

on my old boat a pro team 185, i bought a bottle of the acid cleaner. after i sprayed it on, the boat looked brand new. next time i put it in the water, it went back the way it was. i never found anything that would keep the tin looking new so i didn't do anything and left it dirty looking.

Go to your grocery store cleaning supplies aisle and pick up a can of 'Barkeeper's Friend'. Apply per directions.
