1994 16SL as First Boat

Postby alansbruce » Tue Jul 07, 2020 7:59 am

Having craved my own boat forever I finally took the plunge and bought the much maligned (by some) 1994 SL16. I am delighted with it but clueless on maintenance basics. All this I will learn.

What [basic maintenance] can I expect from a 1994 16SL hull?

To hear what folks have to say will be great. Cheers.

Wash, polish, wax, store out of weather and sunlight.

Other chores vary with your pattern of use, the salinity and temperature of the water, the latitude where used, and the amount of use.
