Thx! Done. The Soft Scrub cleaned up the inside and outside of the hull real nice. Still dull from years of Sun but it looking much nicer!

Thanks BWCA66...like you, the last thing I want to do is glue gunnels to the hull. I might epoxy the hull-side of gunnel however. After staining, I am considering the Watco Teak oil as well. However I read that it hardens when dry. Will the hardened Teak oil then prevent the wood from...

Love the beer! LOL Hope to hear how your new trailer worked out when back from Algonquin. I am in same predicament...to many boats and not enough roof space on cars LOL
