Brown Water Stained Hull
So I just got back from a week at the lake and the bottom of my boat has a brownish scum on the bottom. I washed it and it wont come off? What do you guys use to remove this? Also how to you get under where the bunks are?

I picked up some Starbrite Hull Cleaner at Walmart a few yars ago. Basically diluted Muratic acid I think. Not sure they still carry it but it worked great - litterally no hard rubbing. but you do need to wax after you use it.

Heard of this product on here a few years ago. Never had to use it but still remember it due to the quirky name: "slimy grimy"

Yep...
Or take it to the marina and have them acid wash(same stuff) it.
They'll use a crane to lift the boat off the trailer so you get everything clean, my marina charges around $220.http://www.instgram.com/jlyons30

Try using (at your discretion) a 50-50 blend of cheap toilet bowl cleaner and hydrogen peroxide.
I like using the cheap stuff from Dollar General. It comes in a white bottle and it's more of a gel substance.
I mix it in a spray bottle and only use it on the scum line. You will need to wax after but it really cuts thru the stains!
Your spray bottle will only last a time or two and it will be toast.2003 Mobius LSV GG Edition - Sold!

Brown Water Stained Hull
FSR (Fiberglass Stain Remover) from Academy. Inexpensive and works well. Apply and rub off shortly after and it cuts through the stain and will go back to polished clean hull.
