  1. Good day. I would like to get some help on polishing my Princecraft Amarok boat which has a bare aluminum bottom. I have read  that some polishes are not to be used on anodized aluminum. Most of the boats these days do use anodized aluminum on their hulls to my understanding. Last fall, the dealer used some chemical called Slimy Grimy  to remove heavy stained algae on my hull which lead to the (aluminum hull) to become somewhat white in colour. They use this product often with great results and I was told it does not damage the boat. I would like some help from the forum on how to restore that aluminum silver shine my boat had before.  Thank you

  2. Good Day to all. I needed some help with removing a Mercury lower unit. The motor is a 2016  Mercury 90hp 4 stroke.  I need to remove the lower unit to get the fin repaired. Over the years I have done one on an older motor, but this one scares me a bit since it's almost new outboard. I have read on line that the shifter has to be in forward gear position  before removing the lower unit. Some say Neutral l is the the better way . Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

  3. Thanks to everyone fore responding.

    Fit and finish on the Princecraft was way better than the G3. On the G3 the carpeting around the console was missing some staples and it looked like it was rushed. I also, looked at the 2016 Lowe 165 WT today what a nice boat.

    They are priced to sell but, most come rigged with a 60hp... its a bit underpowered for that boat I think.

    They are rated for up to 90hp. But, 90hp was extra $4,000.

    Its an amazing experiance to be looking and touching these boats. To make the right decision, would be taking each one on the water.

    That's, how its done in my opinion.

  4. I was hoping to get some help in purchasing a new boat.

    I can't decide between a 2014 Angler 164 G3 F series boat with 70 Yamaha and a 2016 Princecraft Nanook with 90hp Mercury.

    Both a brand new boats with walk through. Difference in price is the Princecraft is $4,000 more.

    No other goodies with either of the boats.

  5. I am ready to buy a used boat and can't decide which one to buy.

    First boat;

     

    One owner 2010 Legend 151 Angler 151 with Mercury 25hp 4 stroke EFI with stand up cover and almost new .

    Has no more than 30hrs on the motor. Trailer was used only to bring it to the marina that's it.

    $8500K. No trolling motor, but comes with safety and life jackets, etc. Senior owned.

     

    or

     

    2002 Lund Sendoro 1650 with 80hp Yamaha carbs. Very good shape but hrs of usage unknown. Two previous owners. Again full stand up cover and looks like it has been well maintained. No trolling motor.

    $10K 5hr drive each way.

    I am leaning to towards the Legend since its newer and very close to me. I know Lund is a better make, but 8 years older and 5hr drive.

     

    Legend is rated for 50hp and the current 25hp might be underpowered and possible upgrade in the future.

    Please, help guys.

    Thanks
