Friend of mine is smitten with my Bambi's shine and has asked me to polish his 17' aluminum bass boat! lol. He know it'll never be close to comparable, but he'd like it to look more like new than it does.
I'm a Nuvite user for Bambi, but open to suggestions on this boat idea.
Also, looking for how much you'd charge for the labor on the job (he's buying supplies). I don't want to ask too much, but I want it to be worth my time too.
He better be a GREAT friend.....especially at 30/foot.

The aluminum alloy they use for boats will not hold its shine for very long, if you do not put a clear coat sealer on top of it. Boats get beached and will ruin the shine on the bottom.
I thought that Market price for polishing an Airstreams is $100 a running foot. i.e. a 17-footer AS would cost $1,700
Is the bass boat comparable to the equivalent AS in surface area per running foot? In view of the fact that you won't see the bottom plus it will wear off quickly, should you suggest only doing down just below the water line?
