Super Clean
March 31 , 2008
Super Clean your Boat with Super Clean water!
Don’t you love seeing a beautifully clean and sparkling boat sitting (or speeding) through the water glittering in the sun? For many, their pride is their car. For water lovers- it’s all about the boat. And nothings too good for our babies!
We use filtered water to drink, cook with, and even bathe in- so why not use it to wash out boats with?
The CleaRinse Wash down System from G2 Products is the answer! CleaRinse is a self-contained water softening and filtration system you can use to clean your boat from the dock, trapping the minerals and contamination from incoming water that could damage your boat's finish. A convenient built-in meter tracks your water usage for you, so you don’t run out of filtration before you’re done cleaning!
Seeing as some boats cost more than the average home, protecting that expensive paint job is as important as maintaining the engine!
CleaRinse comes in two models: one cleans 2,000 gallons before recharge for boats up to 65 feet, the other can handle up to 5,000 gallons for larger boats. http://www.clearinse.com
Have you tried the new CleaRinse system or know of a product our readers might want to learn more about? Take some video or photos and show all of our SplashVision viewers how easy (or hard!) it is to use! We might even blog it!
That's a wrap!

Charleston Boat Shows
March 31 , 2008
Boat Show battle comes to an end!
One True Boat Show for
Charleston, SC
For the past year, the South Carolina Marine Association and the Charleston City Marina Co. battled each other over dock space, vendors and attendants as well as the right to have the boat show in the city. They have come to an agreement that eliminates the problem of competing boat shows this spring.
The trade association agreed to cancel its eighth annual in-water show, which had been scheduled for April 10-13 at the new
St. Johns
Yacht
Harbor on the
Stono
River . This means City Marina’s new Charleston In-Water Boat Show, to be held April 17-20 at
Brittlebank
Park and the Bristol Marina, will be the Low Country’s only in-water boat show this spring.
Both sides expressed relief that the conflict has been settled.
The agreement stipulates that SCMA will not hold an in-water show for the next five years from March through July within a 60-mile radius of
Charleston . In exchange, City Marina Co. agreed to pay SCMA for the docks the association purchased to hold its show.
Furthermore, the SCMA will have a booth at the show, and City Marina Co.’s show management division, Maritime Events, agreed to help the association with fundraising efforts.
The controversy sprung up last year when City Marina Co., a private enterprise, announced plans to hold its boat show a week after the association’s existing show. The former South Carolina In-Water Boat Show originated in 1999 under the ownership of the Marine Retailers Association of America. The SCMA had rights to the show from 2001-2007. The show has been located at several locations since its beginning.
The changing venue is what prompted City Marina Co. to produce a new event. Company officials said at the time that area dealers wanted a more consistent venue.
“Like the SCMA, we value the role that boat shows play in the growth of our industry,” said Robbie Freeman, chairman of the Charleston In-Water Boat Show. “The goal of the
Charleston show is to showcase our exhibitors to potential buyers, build excitement about boating, and grow into a top East Coast event.

While you’re there, share the excitement! Take some videos and photos and upload them to SplashVision.

White Whale
March 31 , 2008
White Whale Spottted!
White Killer Whale
On February 23rd a white killer whale spotted in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands sent researchers and the ship's crew scrambling for their cameras.
It had been spotted once in the
Aleutians
years ago but researches had never seen one, even though they black and white killer whales are frequently seen.
"I had heard about this whale, but we had never been able to find it," said Holly Fearnbach, a research biologist with the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in
Seattle
who photographed the rarity. "It was quite neat to find it."
When researchers were able to examine it more closely, they noted that it was not truly white, but white and mottled tans and yellows. Because of the coloring, it likely is not a true albino, which is probably a good thing — true albinos usually don't live long and can have health problems.
"This is the first time we came across a white killer whale," he said.
