We're going to test the "restorer" on our Robalo 2020, which is a 2001 but apparently never compounded and waxed. I just spent several hours this weekend getting one of the gunnels done... Since this is an easily-redone boat and has some areas we can test (ie. the center console) without much risk and effort, we figured that's a good way to see how it does. I wouldn't test it on the sailboat!
I grew up sailing - we had a Morgan 30 for years, and at the same time my grandparents had an Irwin before they got this Newport. I have been away from sailboats for a long time, and only in the last 5 years have we had a powerboat to ski, etc. So I am excited to be returning to my roots, and I love to renovate, restore, etc. (have done houses), so I'm looking forward to it! My husband was glad it was free, since that takes some of the pain out of the cost of the renovation. lol
