less expensive alternatives to bass boat saver?

ReservoirMaison · August 23, 2010, 04:53:28 PM

Tired of the crazy high price of BBS...is there anything else out there that works as good and as easily? Looking for something that I can spray and wipe down the entire boat and everything on it.

Bow to Stern is another product that works, not sure of the pricing though.

What are you "waiting to dry"? I've used BBS for years and just spray it on then wipre off as sson as I take it out of the water. If I want it to really "pop" I just go back around the boat with a dry cloth and it really brings out the shine! I also started mixing BBS with water, about 60/40, and it works great!

I use BBS and Bow to stearn. BBS is just spray on and wipe off and BTS you have to go over twice. To me the price is worth it. .

Most folks I know that us BBS do add water to make it last longer! It and Bow to Stern are the to best IMO. BTS is less expensive.

You can look at My LE going on 5 years old ad the Finish still looks like new. I have waxed it twice, but for the last 3 years it has been nothing but BTS and BBS and the water still beads, and the upolstery still looks like new.

BBS can be had Cheap on EBAY. I usually buy 2 gallons at a time.

If I remember right the shipping of BBS was an issue, hazardous or maybe because it was a liquid? Don't remember exactly but do remember the shipping cost made it way cheaper to buy 2 gallons over one. Never thought to look on eBay

The last 4 gallons I have bought on EBAY have been almost half price of what I could get it from Rich.

I'll second that, you can find it much cheaper by doing a simple google search, I pay the reg price but I keep mine in the garage so it stays shiny ( well that and using it once a month,

)
