[Rhodes22-list] Pressure washer

[Kroposki]

Brad,
	You did not tell us the specs on your new toy.  Is it gas or
electric?  How many psi?  I have a medium sized electric model, works
fine.  I was thinking of getting a more powerful gas model, but after
talking to a guy who washes his boat regularly with a medium sized
electric model, I backed off the powerful units.  On a car, porch or
boat a big unit can cause damage quickly.  My electric model even took
some paint off my van.  The guy on C dock showed me how the big units
can even take the chrome finish off.  He now only uses the smaller
electric model.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Boat Cleaning

My enticing Chinese puzzle of a wife encouraged me to
buy a power washer from Home Depot as an early
Father's Day present.  When I got it home she said
something in Mandarin that roughly translates, "Now
get your lazy ass out there and clean the deck"!  I've
done that and it works great.  The use of this device
to clean the bottom at the end of season is obvious,
but here's my question:  has anyone used a power
washer on the topsides?  You'd need to stay away from
the ports and anything bolted through the deck but it
sure seems a quick and easy way to clean.  Anyone got
any experience?

Brad
