Not sure what everyone is doing about boat cleaning however, thought I would pass this along. I have spoken with 2 gentlemen, referred by Jason at Bottom's Up, interested in cleaning boat bottoms. They are Mark, 481-8477 and Brett, 316-4777. If enough Shields owners are interested in their services, the cost will be $35 per boat. Thanks – Misi Kopsack, Defiance #39
