Bob,
Thanks for the recommendation, Bob. Your impression after having your
upcoming outing on the boat will be helpful too. I'm curious what sprayer you
use. Would a hand sprayer work?
Would I enjoy seeing you all in Florida!

>Just wanted to share something I tried last week. I always used "mean
green" to clean my R-22. Not the stuff you smoke, but the stuff they sell at
Dollar General. Used to buy the concentrate and mix it with water in a
tank sprayer and clean the boat with it. It used to be fine until I moved
to the S. Georgia coast and when I left the boat in or out of the water for
a couple of weeks it would be covered with dirt and mildew. The mean
green only worked if I scrubbed it with an abrasive sponge. Used to kick my
ass between having to scrub and fight off the sand gnats. It was a losing
battle and the boat was really getting worse and worse and scrubbing it was
getting old.

he used to clean the fancy houses at the Ford Plantation in Richmond Hill.
I bought a small container of the concentrate, mixed it with bleach as per
the instructions and used the same tank sprayer to apply it to the
sailboat. The boat was a huge mess since it sat in the boat yard uncovered from
May until September.

while and had the sponge and bucket ready. It was amazing - all the dirt
and mildew came off on its own - all I had to do was rinse. Did not have to
pick up a sponge and I called Sheila to show her how clean the boat looked.
She was amazed. I am really glad to have found this because when I keep
the boat in the water at the Shrimp Docks it gets filthy and I have had no
easy way to clean it. This Jomax cleaned spots where I had not been able
to reach before and it sparkled.

just sharing what I consider an amazing new finding in how to clean your boat
without much effort.

>After the Jomax treatment, I gave it a quick Woody Wax treatment and I am
ready for the next trip next week: will it be Punta Gorda, Gulfport,
Hartwell or Hilton Head? Not sure yet - it is weather dependent, but will let
you know.
