One of my black accent stripe at the bottom of the color band on the hull is turning "chaulky". I've tried vinyl cleaner and wax and it just won't go back to black. Anyone else have this problem?
My stripe was grey, not black, but I had my stripe removed when I bought it as on a hull this size I love the simple clean "no stripe" look. Only the SLX logo on rear (which is not a part of the stripe anyway) Just my opinion.

Anyone have a flag mounted on your 270 SLX?
If so, any pictures..?
There is a reason they are called docking lights. It is considered unacceptable to use them for any other purpose, especially cruising.
Okay,
Just a top speed update.
I think something must be wrong. I had two adults and two children on board this evening. No wind. The ocean was flat. Trimmed properly, top speed was 43mph GPS (and that was a struggle).
I forgot to double check, but I think my RPMs were at about 4500-5000? Maybe 4800?
But I feel like with this 496mag, I should be doing 48-52 with the same amount of people.. easily.
By the way, gas was at 1/2 tank at the time (using the best gas available).
Any tips? Should I have the prop replaced? Any info about props?
Also, this is definitely not an issue of buildup on the hull.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
Brandon
Did you anti-foul your boat ? it happened to me with a previous boat , i had it in the water 3 weeks and the thing was just not moving anymore .
I bought the boat brand new in April . By now i can see rust patches on most of the handles , screws , ladder even the sink . Did anyone face a similar situation ?
