By the way, to add +1 to everyone, NO poliglow on the deck.. use starbrite deck cleaner... however, a friend recommended "Woody's wax" for the nonskid areas and deck (after starbrite), and it seems to really seal it up, without making it crazy slippery... a spray bottle lasts a LONG time too. Cause I dunno about you folks, but the non-skid areas on the deck get chalky too, and you really don't want them "shiny" but rather sealed, and protected.

...and Seth, your arms feel great--right?? Not like you've been holding a random-orbital buffer for 12 hours!

Yeah, it was a very pleasant experience. I anchored the boat fore and aft near a beach with a steep drop off, did one side of the boat, turned it around, did the other side. I'd wipe on a coat, take a couple of sips of Corona Light while it dried, then the next coat... Caribbean islandy sounding music playing, felt like I was living the dream...
