    Hello all~
    I live in southern oregon just minuets from the Rogue river where there is a drift boat in every drive way. In fact there are several large boat builders here in Medford (willie Boats, Alumaweld, Boice Jet, and Fish right to name a few) I was thinking of starting a business where I would wash and wax boats. I also have lots of experience in painting so I thought I might offer a Custom painting service as well. I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a business like this one or would use a service like this.
    Thanks Dale

    Hey I got rid of a boat because I was tired of cleaning and waxing it. If you have the proper equipement to do it fast at a fair price you should do OK. Gelcoat repair would go nicely with your painting. Boat bottoms always need a fixin!!!!!!!!
