Bilge Babe

Old boats stink. There's all that nasty oily shit that rolls around under the floor boards while the boat is closed up for long periods of time. Throw in the holding tank, old sanitary lines and a little diesel fuel and that ode d'boat permeates everything and is there to greet you every time you come on board.

Just look down there.

25 years of nasty! We gotta clean this mess up.  I got an idea. Let's rent a commercial hot water pressure washer.

Now the fun part. Ever been in a confined space with a pressure washer? ...spraying oily bilges?  Man o'man I was not looking forward to this when a volunteer came forward.

                                                                      Bilge Babe!

Is that true love or not? Laughing and smiling...this gal's a keeper.

This went on for 3-4 days until nothing but clean water came out of all three bilge compartments. What a trooper!

Thanks to Bilge Babe all the bilges have been washed, scrubbed, dried sanded and painted. Boat smell? What boat smell.  It's been gone for two years.

I love you Bilge Babe.
