I recently bought a 1995 1800 SR. It's the first boat I've ever owned, so I'm learning something new everyday. The boat was kept in the Ohio River last summer and not cleaned well when it was pulled out. Unfortunately, my first boating adventure was to remove the Ohio River scum from the hull with Simple Green, a scrub brush, and a lot of elbow grease. I'm hoping the next one will be more fun. Now, if it would only quit raining....
