SOS pads and water is super fast and leaves a better finish on them. I have done three with this method. The pad will also let you know when to move on to the next area as it starts out difficult to move and as it breaks the film it gets super slippery. Try it! Reliability on the old engines? They could not be more simple, rugged  and reliable and when you are finished with boating you can hand it down to the next generation. We do 100 mile runs with them all the time. Fuel economy? Yes but then again you are only running 35hp and you will pay dearly for a new 4-stroke. Would take years and years to make up the difference!</blockquote>
