Alfred, I love your broadcasts: informative, funny as heck and educational. I just bought a new Walker Bay 14 with a Honda 60 and I'm watching all of your videos to figure out what I need to know and do. Thanks !

[@ronniemedlin]

This vid inspired me to get my own Novurania 430, and use the cleaning method to make her look good as new. Magic Eraser and "Special Sauce" for the win!

[@azpaquin]

I have the same boat with a Yamaha 70. Really moves

Hi, i Have the same boat. While towing it up from Mexico to Michigan I picked up a piece of steel in the left pontoon, tearing a 6”x12” L shaped hole in it. Yikes! Where can I get that much hypolon fabric and glue? Also, are there videos available that might assist one for such a nasty patch? Thanks, Dale

[@yassinemh3356]

Your video really helped me to get rid of Bottom paint. Thank you. can you tell me please how to remove completely crustation from floats?

[@AlfredMontaner]

Be careful but you can use muriatic acid and it shouldn't hurt the hypalon. It's a tedious process but you have to put several coats little by little and then rinse eventually it will eat it away

[@yassinemh3356]

Merci Alfred ! your folower from France

[@seilingihellas955]

Hi there, Ingve from Norway here. I have a Italian made Capelli 2008 model, the rub rail used to be blue but has really lost its color. Are there any way to bring back the color to this one?

[@ogradyjohn272]

I did not see you use the acid. When and where do you apply that?

[@mikebrodie6407]

what was muratic acid for?did i miss something?

[@cre8ivfun]

Hey Alfred, how do you know when your Hypalon tubes are bad, I have a boat that was sitting out for it’s entire life.

[@JiggyC]

Damn bro you drove all the way to tampa for that boat! Hope it was a great deal! Just picked up a 1999 Caribe with a 25 hp johnson for $1k.. going to need a lot of work though.

[@hildablanco1591]

Go with a 90 HP mercury command thrust

[@mikehartung1627]

Alfred, just wondering why do you like Rib Boats so much?

[@ctdvargas]

He owns a hypalon shop so its his specialty. He also knows that they are basically unsinkable. They do need a little tlc and eventual repars, but one can find gems on craigslist and then take them to him to fix up.

[@bobseward7651]

Great stuff, how much do you pick up these ribs for. I would like to fill a container and ship a few to Ireland, is the bleach a particular strength or is any household bleach ok to use? The rub rails on my old Lomac are covered in mildew I will try your methoid tomorrow, thanks for the videos. I feel a trip to Florida is on the cards next month.

[@AlfredMontaner]

I was using Straight Clorox bleach regular

[@ctdvargas]

Im gonna save up some money and hit you up to do some business. I suppose you sell these after you restore them right? I live in miami so cant wait. cheers

[@ONEKINC]

brother do sell some glue...love you videos!!!

[@hildablanco1591]

Your wife will know you cleaned the DINGHY because you killed the grass but happy Cuban life

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

I'm looking at a used Novurania like this one with a 50 Honda outboard.

[@gregoryrussell2959]

funny bout bleach , took staight bleach clean bottom of mine , i still wear those as reminder of SACRAFISE to get that boat squeeky clean

[@gregoryrussell2959]

: )

[@semihgururozcelik2403]

you just used many corrosive chemicals bro

[@AlfredMontaner]

The reality is that sometimes you have to use more aggressive cleaning tactics because of the condition of the boat. Being safe does not produce the results I'd like. And as long as you properly neutralize the tubes with a neutralizing ph balanced soap you should be okay. Keep in mind once you put UV protectants on it it'll act like nothing happened

[@petermoyes8766]

i think so to ,,very harsh

[@kodyblazer5802]

@@AlfredMontaner you're ruining your boat cleaning it with so many chemicals.. especially with bleach.. which is probably the WORSE thing to use on an inflatable... regardless how you use it!
