    Trailer tires

    Goodyear Endurance. This tire has a higher speed rating, Higher load rating and expected tread wear. I feel more comfortable with this tire than the OEM tire. Highly recommend!

    Handrails and Rust...... How to address

    You can try using star brite EZ-ON EZ-OFF to clean it. My hull had rust stains as well as dark stains from mangrove tannins. I sprayed this on and the stains just start to melt and run. Didn’t have to scrub at all.

    Anchor size for 272 sailfish

    Seachoice utility anchor. Welded joints appear strong. Galvanization is generous. Slip ring works well to back anchor out of being stuck. I would recommend this to a friend and buy again if fitting out a new boat.

    Cleaning Her Up

    Meguiar’s M4364 Marine. This wash gets the boat clean when the directions are followed, without undue fuss and bother. If they ever make a product that will make it stay clean I will buy that one too. Until then, this is my go-to choice.

    Buying a new polisher

    Makita 9237CX3 makita 7″ polisher. So far, its great. Used on my 24' boat & 3 personal vehicles. Im not a novice detailer, but Im also not an expert detailer either and I feel this is the perfect setup for those who detail a few times a year.

    Good bumpers?

    attwood 93532-1 dock fender, I bought two of these to supplement the other bumpers on the dock. After a full season they don't show any signs of wear from my 23' boat rubbing/bumping them all summer from other boat traffic. Putting them on the dock was easy enough.

    New upholstery on cabin cushions

    Marine vinyl fabric of Vvivid, I’m in the process of reupholstering my 12 year old boat. This vinyl looks great and seems to be made of a high quality material. It is easy to work with when you get used to it. I think this vinyl should hold up good for many years in a marine environment.
