what is the going price for getting your boat polished, mine is starting to look not so hot, and who in the area does this. i remember a while back a few discussions on this, but i couldnt find them.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I did my boat by handOlybirds said:i had mine done by a place called Proflections in Auburn. He did a great job, but getting him to actually start the job was tough.
ive heard good things about Polishyourboat.com as well. Make sure you put Sharkhide on after you get i done, or all will be a waste of money in about 20 trips... less if you go in the salt..
Assuming that you applied your Sharkhide by hand I wonder if it would be less cloudy if it were sprayed on ?Olybirds said:... Looked just like Chrome. BUT.. Once I put on the Sharkshide, it really clouded up the polish. If I take off the Sharkhide, it looks just like that still, but with the sharkhide on its not quite so "perfect" looking. You can still see your reflection but its not chrystal clear like it shows in the pictures..
I did wipe mine on. I tried to spray it with a paint sprayer, but it clogged my sprayer. I think the Pro's do spray it on.

I havnt seen any negative effects fishing wise. I had a pretty good year in the salt for salmon and Tuna out of my shinny boat. Its a prop, so It doesnt see much time in the shallow water... Although Bob Barthlow (Rivers NW Guide service) polishes his Alumaweld. He doesnt seem to have any trouble putting fish in his boat either!!
