Hi Sean, I love watching you videos on all things boats. I have not found a video on how to clean scum off the hull, both aluminum and fiberglass. I was wondering if you could make a video on that.

This is a really good step by step guide to trading in your boat. Marinas and Dealers need to keep the lights on I don't mind paying some margin.
