Dielectric grease is your friend. Cleaned the terminals with a little sand paper and re used.

Like those LED's.
Next, I had to pull the old registration numbers.

Sort of a chore. Actually pulled em a few days ago using a razor blade and following up with goo gone to get the residue.
Well, with fiberglass, there was some slight color difference. Plus I wanted to polish the area completely before I put the new numbers on. So....I couldn't stand it...broke out the polisher and went to work just to see how it would do.

Think I got my answer. Purty darn good. :)

Actually, the above is misleading. There are areas on the boat that are pretty good with just a wipe down with a rag, some that need polishing, some that need compound and polishing and still others that need wet sanding, compounding then polishing.
Not having any experience with all this, the above is an area that was pretty good without touching it, so I just compounded one pass, then polished one pass. Feels smooth to the touch and the color pops out now and you can tell the reflection runs and looks deep.
Well, here's the absolute worst are on the boat before:

And now after, having run the compound and the polish over it.

You can tell it's much better and is now smooth to the touch, but it will require a full step down wet sanding, then compound and polish again, but I'm thinking you won't be able to tell there is any discoloration at all by the time I'm through with it.
Getting pretty excited to see how it comes out.......now all I need is about 16 hours to do the whole boat.

Bringing mine home Saturday, think I will just drop it by there and let you get it while youre at it.

slow and steady WB, you'll get there
I'm just waiting for you to finish--then you can school me:)
Got worried Feelay was gonna pass me, so I kicked it into passing gear today.
Got the flasher installed. Complete with factory knobs. Controls are to the right on the dash.

You know, there's a reason they call that boy HandiCrappie....on account of how handi he is to have around. He did me a serious solid and hooked me up with a custom set of registration numbers color coordinated to the boat...stewpit state of MS bout rurnt it for me...who's the idjit tht picked orange for the registration sticker?

Why you got a 2014, they sposed to run 3 years.
Not only that, but he double hooked me up with some a TEAM JADA decal and custom designed one for EZ for my boat. For evah, I refused to put an endorsement decal on my boat, but over the last few years, EZ, Hi-Tek and Crappie.com have done so much for me, that I felt compelled to display an endorsement for them all....still got room for the only other one allowed, CrappieLogic, although assuming a certain jig tying bald moderator were to send me a couple thousand samples, I've got one spot reserved depending on the contract.
Handi does some jam up work y'all. And the best is yet to come. Holla at him if y'all want sumpn speshul.

You can imagine after this next set of pics how disappointed I was to find out that you can't get spinners in anything larger than 20s.
You see me rolling, don't be hatin'

She's lit up like a two dolla whore house on pay day. Hehehehe
But, wait, there's sump'n a little extra coming.
Wannabe...
When we gonna do that to mine?
This will surely be the next biggest rage on Crappi.com. Way bigger than Okuma's from Northwoods and at least twice as big as Sportsbrellas.

Handi says he can do anything you need pretty reasonable, but one like mine is $16,000. $17,000 of you want Wannabe printed underneath.
Forgot to mention, I'll have some EZ stickers, Team JADA and Team Geezer stickers with me at Washington if anybody wants one. Also, I'm sending some EZ stickers to EZ so he'll have some as well.

bankers have way to much money and time on there hands
Well--Im impressed:)
Yep Feelay, my new decals are green and say "15" on it , not like the oranges on it that say "14" but it just might be that WB peeled the ones off his other boat to try and save money LOLQuote:
