10 days ago I saw an ad on Craig'sList for a Pearson Commander. Looked interesting. We were about to buy an ugly, dirty boat in desperation of missing another sailing season. Never seen a Commander before. We went to see the boat and made an offer on the spot. (We generally do things with our hearts, not our heads!) Two days later we completed sale. 3 days later, we loaded all 4 kids on the boat and left Gulfport, MS for Pass Christian, MS. Left her there for the night and next day reached her new home in Slidell, LA! (across the lake from New Orleans)

The boat's in beautiful condition and only needs her brightwork restored. I just have to see it all slick and shiny at least once, so I'm going to varnish. I've read some 8 odd pages of discussion on this topic, but most are several years old and I am wondering whether there is some fabulous new product that's come along in the last few?

As soon as my teenager comes home I'll get him to show me how to post photos.

Thanks for any help, and I'm glad to be here!
