I took this one this last weekend. I had to dig a hole to get my tire out of. It went missing and I had to find it. All good it was 6feet under.

As beautiful as you guys boat are the sad part is mine will never shine like that it just has too many imperfections in the gel coat. They look like a slight orange peel and there is even a spot where it looks like a long drip/run that was never fixed. Everything started showing up when I started sanding it. Lots of high/low spots in it also but maybe it will improve as I go along and get to the polishing step.

Sure will. A 6 pack, some 2000 grit, and a foam wheel buffer with some 3M foam wheel polishing compound. 😘

Because it’s just badass YT! Still can’t believe they changed to smaller lights on latest models (with all due respect).
