I feel bad. Our AB dinghy is only 6 years old, but it needs cleaning -- I guess the big advantage is it doesn't look like it's worth stealing! I had big plans to clean it and make it look all new again this winter during our "mini-refit", but it just didn't happen -- too busy with other priorities. The biggest problem is our aluminum RIB is peeling paint terribly and looks like crap, not to mention tracking white aluminum flake paint everytime we climb aboard or hoist the dinghy aboard. We need to sandblast it or something and repaint it. Anyone done this? Thx for the tip on MaryKate products, we use their metal polish and like it alot.

On the other hand, our dinghy did see some fun last winter! This is exploring Indian Key in the 10,000 Islands, Everglades, SW Florida.
