Surprisingly, a Magic Eraser got most of it out. I have just learned to live with the rest of it. Not to mention that I have added a few myself. It doesn't hurt as bad the first time you scratch it, if it isn't perfect to start with.

Thank you! I am going to look into that right now!

I have scrubbed pretty hard on them with no luck. I thought about trying something like a magic eraser but I don't want to end up messing up the anodized and making it look even worse. I don't know if the boat has been att any boat shows. Have there even been any boat shows since Covid just...

Thank you! I will post some pictures this coming weekend. We mostly stay on Tims Ford Lake, but occasionally go up to Center Hill.

Yes sir, that's with the trailer. And including everything except tax and registration. I didn't buy it in the state I live in, so I have to pay those here.

Yeah, a rub rail definitely won't hide all of them. But, at least, it will help to keep from making more. I ended up getting it for $64,950 plus tax.

Scuffs and scratches.....

Below is a picture of the scratches. There are a few other random ones but this is the only really bad area.

Thank you all for the advice! I will post a picture of the scratches this evening when I get off work. I went ahead and bought the boat (will post pics once the weather clears up and I can take the cover off). I talked to the salesman about having a rubrail put on. He checked with Bennington...

Did you ever come up with a good solution for the rub rail?

Honestly, I am not sure if they could wrap it or not. Either way, replacing it would definitely be the best!

I thought about that too. I would imagine the entire rail, all the way around the boat, would have to be buffed to make It look right. Then it would need some sort of clear coat on it to keep it looking good. Someone mentioned wrapping the rail and I think that may be a great option.

On the aluminum extrusion that the rub rail normally attaches to. This boat doesn't have an actual rubber rub rail on it. You would think that would be standard, but apparently not.

You make some good points that I didn't think about. Like how the trucking industry is lately. Very likely either an inexperienced new guy, or an over worked and rushed driver. I also hadn't thought about wrapping that part of the boat. Maybe wrap it, then put on an aftermarket rub rail to...

I am kinda thinking along those same lines. I have searched everywhere I can think of in about a 500 mile radius and this is the only one that Jason everything we are looking for.... swingback plus, Simrad, Pro XS engine, etc. I figure I can either wait and hope to find another one that is...
