I haven't tried the yellow on fiberglass yet, but the blue did great on the boat. Just not sure the blue is hard enough for the aluminum toons and the yellow maybe too much to leave swirl marks on the fiberglass. Have to do a small spot to see.

I see they also have a microfiber. I may try that on the panels

We went to the local brewery today .
In the brewing room they had a power scrubber to clean the tanks . The server had seen the scrubber in the past ,but never thought about it for cleaning her boat , she ordered 1 while we were there.

Mine did not stall . Due to weather i have not been able to wipe mine down in over a month , what I could reach came off. I didn't have to push very hard, I used the brush head that came with the unit.

They have them on Amazon as well, try it if you dont like it you can always send it back.
I have not stalled mine out yet and have pushed pretty hard on the fiberglass hull. I use the medium texture blue head which was optional.
I think the best feature of it, is the adjustable head angle. Probably not as much of a big deal on toons, but really works well on the angles of the fiberglass hulls. That way I don't feel like a contortionist having to hold it funny.

OOC, do you guys think this would also work well for cleaning off a large composite lakeside deck?

Battery life is " supposed " to be 2 hrs and depending which brush. I dont see why not

What about a power washer ? They make a flat surface attachment for power washers .

I have the Ryobi 18V Lithium 4Ah battery as I have multiple Ryobi tools. Longer battery life than the standard 2Ah battery.

I think a power washer would be better. Was just thinking if I got this for the boat, maybe I also use it for deck!?!

Do your toons even get dirty ?
I going to check into the micro fiber head for the panels.

The power washer with the flat surface attachment would be much faster too .

Umm, not really, just dust and what not blown onto them when dockside on the Sea legs.
They otherwise are pretty clean still going into year 8-9.However, I was thinking maybe this is just a simply way to wipe down the entire boat and side panels, and then double up on other things. But you are absolutely correct. I could probably do it in a fraction of the time if I just got a power washer.
Anyone know if the cordless Ryobi power washers are good enough for light duty cleaning up a composite lakeside deck?

If you do the side panels , get the micro fiber attachment . The brush would probably scratch the panels
Pulled the boat yesterday. Boat had been setting since Labor day. Wil have to say how much less growth was on the hull vs previous years when I just scrubbed it by hand at the sandbar vs using the Ryobi. A little bit of Starbrite gel hull cleaner and the Ryobi made it look like new again. I did have to lay on my back and get the bottom of the hull under the axles and other places where the Ryobi wouldn't fit.
