    I used both. used the Starbrite stuff for many years before the 303 came out for marine products about 7 or 8 years ago the only thing that killed any of my Sunbrella covers was a 1500 mile trip behind a box truck where the cover was flapping enough against a ficus and some household items...

    What's too old to consider?

    if your not looking for a project, buy a new boat with a warranty. fiberglass recreational boats are designed to last 15 years with minimal maintenance. yes, while many boats have a service life that is longer, expect to start to have projects at 15 years as systems start to fail.

    Kicker motor

    measure your transom for leg length usually the kicker is mounted on the port side to offset the single guy fishing who is normally on the starboard side. other than that, no preference.

    Should you polish a Prop or not

    run it in sand at low tide, it will polish them up. other than that, polished or not polished, doesnt matter enough from an efficiency standpoint to worry. a nick on the leading edge has more effect than if you polished the whole thing to a mirror finish or sprayed it with primer and threw...

    i tend to think its accurate enough. even with my old AQ series, the B6' props would be 4600 RPM, so jumping to the B7's would have given me about 4200. other than the different hubs, the B6/C6 pitch and diameter is really close the the D6/F6
