<b>After FSR wipedown</b>
Have not really cleaned below the waterline for several months other than wash with boat soap.
Here`s the difference after a very gentle wipe down with a small amount of FSR</center>

An advantage of a trailered boat - no bottom paint!

I don't know what the cost of FSR is now days, but there is a toliet bowl cleaner at the dollar store called The Works that will do the job a lot cheaper. Rubber gloves a sponge then rinse when done. The results will be the same. The boat really looks great Paul.

Thanks Jerry, that sounds like something to try! You are right! FSR is about $10 for a 16oz tub. I used about half a tub on the hull below the water line.

Looks nice! I've also read that ketchup will work just as well as FSR.

Anything with a little oxalic acid in it. Ketchup qualifies.
