I see many products out there claiming to be the best. Anyone have
experience with a product that works?

I used poly-glo last year on my badly faded blue awlgripped freedom 36. It really made the boat shine remarkably. I am having her re-awlgripped this year (along with adding a swim transom to make her a 36/38), but if I were not, I certainly would put on another coat. It got a good review in practical sailor. It is expensive, but can help put off a paint job for a year or two. It is very different from any regular waxes.mmaggiacom <mmaggiacom@…> wrote:

I also have a 36 and would be interested in knowing
what is involved in converting the transom? About how
much would it cost?

Freedom has the molds for the transom, but I understand they are not really interested in making more. Paul Dennis who used to be a bigwig in their facility made mine last year, and it is being put on by George Borges who also used to work for them. Goerge is doing the paint job (he does the factory paints for the new Pearson powerboats). They are both close to me in Warren, RI. Paul is widely thought of as the Freedom Guru. If you are anywhere near here, I would recommend either or both of them. Paul is now having boats that he is working on hauled at Cove Haven Marine in Barrington, RI and Goerge has them at his place. I can get you in touch with either or both of them.
As for cost, like everything else with a boat, too much. Actually it is not all that bad, 32-3800 for the transom and ladder etc and 1500-2200 for the install. I am doing in concert with the awlgrip, so it makes sense to me. Everyine I have spoken to says it is a worthwhile addition, and if I ever sell the boat (which I doubt) I should get every penny back, and possibly then some.
Let me know if you want to call talk talk live.
regards,
