Well finally got the Checkmate to the shop, just got it back Friday.
Took the guy awhile to find the right oxidation remover to work on her, he said it was pretty bad. I think it turned out great, now i just have to get her back together. Here are some pictures.

Looks good where did u take it?
 
Pat at Johns Marina, he does all the work on my boat I cant do myself.
Had it in for some repairs and ask him to see if he could get the gel coat to shine, he said he would try it. We were both happy with the result.

St. Louis checkmate get together would be great.
Here is an update as of April.

So as you guys know I bought my 89 Maxxum last summer, the first picture you see is if her sitting on the beach on the Mighty Miss.
So this past winter decided to send her into the shop for a much deserved buffing, the oxidation was very bad. My boat mechanic found a product that made her shine again (product in pictures). Got her back few weeks ago, still need to wax her and get all the stuff back on. For the last couple weeks I have been working on repainting the windshield framing and getting the windows tinted. Getting the windows tinted was more difficult than I wanted to deal with. So I found a guy who used black vinyl on the outside of the curved corners of the windshield (plastic), black vinyl on the inside of the side glass, and 5% on the front windshield glass. So this past weekend I got the windshield on the boat. Few things went wrong but it turned out good I think. Let me know what you guys think.

Thought I would post a recent picture of the progress on my boat along with me new tow vehicle. Truck even has 454 in it. Why not since the boat does.... ha ha.

I haven't got all the powder coated pieces back on the boat yet, but I had all my Stainless Steel powder boated a Satin Black, he did a great job. I think it matches the window tinting I had done as well.

Looks great Jason....
You were fortunate to find a powder coat oven large enough for those bow rails.

Your doing an awesome job on that Check.
