saabkyle04 asked:
I have been detailing for about 7 years now and have been requested to detail a 22-24′ boat up at a lake 1.5 hrs from me. All gas costs and what not are being compensated. What they want me to do is go through the whole boat and detail it, vacuum, buff and compound/wax it, and pretty much go as in depth as I can. How much would going rates for boat detailing be for something like this, any help is greatly appreciated! I don’t do boats often so this would really help. Thanks a lot!

On my boat lift I have a electric lift but the cords have been pulled out. They’re four separate copper wires that look okay to solder. Is it safe and can I solder the wires back to there original connections?

Mary K asked:
We have a small hole on the bottom of our boat. It will not stop seeping water to fix it. It has not been in the water since last fall ! We have a bondo fiberglass repair kit, We thought it was dry and put one layer on. Went back the next day to do another layer and it was wet and still seeping water. We have been waiting forever for this boat to dry to fix it. Is there anything that we can fix it with while its wet ?

sestud69 asked:
I have a 1979 Sea Sprite 14 ft, fiberglass boat. It has a Mercury 50 outboard HP engine. I am sure the engine is good but the interior of the boat needs major work. The exterior is in fair condition. I contacted Helping Hands of America and they came out to look at it and will not take it because of its condition. I later found out that they in turn would sell my boat for their charity. I need to get rid of this boat. Who should I contact? Please help! Thanks!
I am just outside Boston Massachusetts.

I just bought a 25 foot boat and I’m struggling to reverse park it into my slip at the marina. It has one 1 stern drive so it makes it a little tougher I hear. Any tips would be appreciated.

Rodney and Kerry C asked:
I have a 14 foot boat built in 1960, it has no tags on it for weight capacity. It has a 35 hp motor on it now that is going to be illegal in a couple years due to emmissions. How do I figure out the maximum horsepower I can get. It is a fiberglass boat.

I’ve had a Champion bass boat forever, but today I bought an aluminum G3 boat that was so cheap I couldn’t pass it up. The G3 is aluminum. What are the pros and cons?

This information is needed for an in-class debate on piracy. A colleague of mine stated 250 soldiers per patrol boat and I had thought this unreasonable. Also what is the fastest steel hull ship size?
