Boat cleaning, compounding, waxing or maintenance cleaning:
I have found it increasingly hard to recommend folks for cleaning as there are too many guys that are in business one day and out the next. However there are two companies that I highly recommend;
1) Sunshine Yacht Service, 281-326-2468, Robert Shilling, who has been in business for over 15 years and is reliable. They do a variety of maintenance agreements or just cleaning. Make sure you tell Robert I sent you as he has a lot of boats he already does, but will squeeze you in if you tell him I sent you.

Lead—As in heavy metal/ballast! What do you need lead for? Usually used to trim out your boat. Most all boats have some inherent list(lean)—New/Used it doesn’t matter, especially if you add a gen-set or other heavy gear to one side. To buy lead Call Lead Products, Co Inc—713-224-9546. They are downtown off navigation at 709 Velasco. Price was about $2/lb for 20lb ingots. Also check on EBAY
