[Rhodes22-list] Detail fail?

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Tom,

That looks like you’re thru the gelcoat right down to the FRP substrate.  Yes, you need a refinish before you put the boat back in the water or even expose it to much UV.  If it was my boat, I would have had a fit!

Ooooof...

1. I silently paid and left.
2. I can cancel their payment, but would prefer to talk it out.
3. They told me it was fine... Are you saying I need a refinish now?
4. I dropped it at storage this afternoon. Do I need to deal with this now?

I figured I would need a bottom paint every 2 years sitting in lake
Michigan. Not every year.
Could it be that the boat has a saltwater paint and these freshwater guys
messed it up?

It looks like a like buffing compound, or lake life, that's been ground in
by the buffing?

I've never had a boat professionally cleaned.  Usually I just hit it with
the power washer and mcquires, or something like that and a brush...  No
idea what chemicals they used... I will follow up.
