Runabout & bowrider detailing on Lake Ouachita

The classic family lake boat splits its wear between sun-baked gelcoat and a hard-used interior. We handle both in one visit, priced by the foot.

Wash & Wax: est. $13-20 /ftFull Detail: est. $20-35 /ft

Two jobs in one boat

The open bow and cockpit collect sunscreen, snacks and lake grime while the topsides quietly chalk in the sun. A full detail addresses both in one visit; a wash & wax in between keeps the gelcoat protected.

Wash & wax runs est. $13-20 /ft; a full detail est. $20-35 /ft. A 21-foot bowrider full detail lands around $420-735.

What we watch for on a runabout & bowrider

What does a bowrider need most?

Gelcoat protection against the sun, and interior care. The cockpit works hard on a family boat, and the topsides oxidize quietly up top. A full detail resets both.

How often should a family runabout be detailed?

A wash every few weeks in season, a wash & wax when water stops beading, and a full detail once a year. That cadence keeps the boat sharp and the resale value strong.

Can stained bow and cockpit seating be cleaned?

Yes. We clean and condition vinyl to lift stains and slow cracking. Badly weathered seats cannot always be made new, but they come back a long way.
