Scratch removal

[Chtucker]

Are the grocery store green scotchbrite pads fine enough/too coarse to polish out some dock rash? Lets just jast that I needed some improvement in my docking in the wind skills. I would prefer to polish it out, so I don't have a constant reminder..

Nothing damged, just a scuff I would like to remove.

post a picture of the scuff. Is there nyalic or shark hide on the hull?

Please do so the World of AAB will know? Green then white Scotch brite. But the area will be noticeable for a while. Especially if either Nylac or Shark Hide was used as an original finis.h

No coatings, pics to follow so I can show my stupidity.

Just a pride thing. The whole family got into a major scrub down of the boat after spending 10 days traveling around the islands

Bummer, at least it's easily correctable! I gotta know, how did the boat fare on the trip?

Awesome. No real complaints. One entrance door needs alignment and we better cushions on the V berth.

We ran into some rough currents caused by big tidal flows.

Normal cruise 28 knots 3500 rpm, 1.8mpg, about 16.x gph

We were running 17 knots, .9mpg for about 3 miles. It was not choppy just big rolly stuff.. Almost bar crossing type.

Not comfortable for the family. I need to watch the tides loser.

No other real issues. Really glad we went with the full head and shower. Wish there was more storage, Wish we had a rack for crab pots.

instead of polishing it out, the other option is to scuff up the other side so they match! :-)

Rack for crab traps along the lines of this one. Modified to fit the pots of Course

I like that idea, for sure. Would be great to get crab or shrimp pots off the deck and up somewhere secure. Looks good, John.
