Boat detailing supply recommendations
That’s where I’d start. Like if you used a magic eraser on my seats they’d be ruined.
The side wall panels are all separate squares. It’s really hard to detail. I’d be worried about the flooring. Inside and outside walls and rails. Furniture is where I’d really ask the manufacturer.
It’s not bad if you don’t have to touch the toons.

I mean what are you doing exactly? Pontoon have side walls. So 500-600 to wash the side walls and pressure wash the floor? Most vinyl manufacturers list what products they want on their furniture. Like my seats say to wipe them with warm water and ivory soap absolutely no chemicals. There isn’t a lot to “detail”.
In all honesty I would ask your customer what manufacturer boat and then reach out to the manufacturer. Side walls are painted or powder coated. Flooring can be vinyl or carpet but it’s glued down so nothing too harsh.

Is a deck boat a happy medium between a speedboat and a pontoon?
My tritoon does mid 50’s mph and that’s faster than a lot of speed boats! Tell him to take a look at tritoons with at least 250hp and he will not be disappointed!

My wife got hustled by the service department 🤦🏻♂️
2 hours labor yikes!!! That’s a little on the rough side. Or it’s $320/hr and it’s 1.5 including removing shields and setting level. It’s probably through the dash not 100% sure if they have a dipstick which can take 15-25 min letting oil warm up.

Was just gifted this car from family due to my mechanical experience. What's your guesses?
Bolsters on the seats and the tach are dead give aways.

I told him to take the trashcan, not how to take it.
How about just the 14,000 lb truck on grass. Fuck the wheels! Your sinking fast!!

Bad circuit breaker?
Does the breaker have line and batt on it? Is it hooked up the correct way? I’ve run into thrifter breakers that only work that way while the blue sea works either. Did you run a continuity test with the breaker open and closed and switch leads after doing it one way.

Repair Advice.
Or just rip the carpet off and put on poly slides. They say carpet is bad for toons because it can hold water and salt and oxidize and rot the aluminum. Idk

There is currently a $.14 spread between Defythegrid and Finest Known!
Does finest known charge a fee and shipping? Idk I equate it to wasting gas driving around trying to find it 5-10 cents cheaper. It’s not worth it to me.

Otis is stupid!
I’ll be more than happy to take Otis if you think he isn’t intelligent enough for you. My pug can get specific toys I’m asking for. Shake, give high 5’s on command. And other things, he’s also quite fast and athletic.

Whats a good prop for overall top speed? not concerned with acceleration. It would be mounted to an 86 evinrude 175.
There is a lot of information missing as others have said. Current wide open throttle rpm vs what your manufacturer recommends. Then the specs on your current prop.
I can help you out. I’ve learned a lot both from rc and talking with Ken(prop god) and local racers. The fastest prop on my boat has been a 4 blade. It’s different for different hulls and loading. I have a tritoon and as a non-planing hull I think I’ve got the best prop for me.

People who bought black cars, do you regret it?
Kia’s has shitty paint is the only regret I have about my black Kia. It’s very thin and their clear blows.

Blender company stopped selling tool to dissasemble blender. Theoretically the middle should twist off, but I cant get enough torque to do it.
Snap ring pliers. Cheap internal external, or some needle nose pliers(long nose or indexing should work. Might destroy either but should work.

They got me guys. What do you guys think I spent on this? A nickel ratchet and dvom is getting delivered soon.
Just like I loved Mac tools because they had all those awesome John Force cars. And then I tried a Matco screw driver and it was all over from there.

Marine products are usually for gel coat. So being that a pontoon is paint or powder coat, yes you can use any and all automotive products on that. Hard water stains are a BITCH just fyi. I really like hot sauce by boat bling just be warned it really smells like vinegar. All I really do for mine is wash it spray areas with hard water with hot sauce and spray wax or spray detail.
