Episode 29: Molley and Chad interview Aqua Supply Co. owners Courtney and Andrew in today’s episode.  Aqua sells marine products and apparel for everyone who loves boating, beaches and the outdoors.  The four of them originally met at the Dock Crawl in 2022.  We’ll catch up on the new business and have a few laughs along the way. 

So, How’s Business?

Andrew is happy to say they sold out of all of the merchandise at the Cincinnati Boat Show.  AquaClean is their first brand.  It’s detailing products to be use on boats, as well as cars and RVs.  Andrew has done detailing for over 10 years.  He’s used many of the available products.  They spent about 2 years of testing to find the right products for their brand.

Molley and Courtney talk about everyone seems to have a job(s) when a boat’s involved.  Andrew is a serious cleaner.  Courtney takes care of getting things ready for the outing. 

The AquaClean Product Line

Courtney gives an overview of the products they offer.  She begins with WIPEDOWN, which is their flagship product.  It’s a waterless wash, that prevents water spots and streaks on your boat after you’re done for the day.

Andrew talks about their PROTECT product that gives a stronger barrier of protection.  They have a variety of all-purpose cleaners and waxes.  There’s plenty of new products in the pipeline, as well.

Molley asks about a product to get hair dye out of your seats.  That can be a really challenge.  Andrew comment that many of the products on the market can actually break down the material.  There’s no all-in-one product solution.

Properly Caring for Your Boat  

Molley discusses how so many people forget, or skip, wiping down their boats.  It’s so important and a lot of new boat owners may not realize it.  Over time, your boat will develop a waterline, because you didn’t take the time to properly care for your boat, by just wiping it down.

Molley focuses particularly on caring for the seats.  Taking a little time to clean them and reapply protectant can ensure they not only look great, but they hold up over the years.  You can keep the seats from splitting and reduce damage to the threads, with a little effort. 

The group briefly discusses a new type of material that is supposed to resist feeling hot to the touch and actually resists staining from sun lotion and other substances. 

Where Can People Meet Courtney and Andrew?

They’re thinking about the Kuttawa Cannonball Run.  They’re also planning to be at the Thunder Run on Lake Cumberland.  The plan is to have a display and maybe a special surprise. 

Chad points out that today’s episode is being recorded at Lake Cumberland’s State Dock, on Courtney and Andrew’s houseboat.  If you hear some noise in the background, it’s all part of Lake Life.

What Cleaning Mistakes Do People Make?

Molley asks about mistakes people often make when cleaning their boats.  Andrew discusses how many people go wrong with the interiors of their boats.  Bleach can be a problem.  However, people done always understand that Magic Erasers have bleach in them.  He explains that the damage isn’t immediately noticeable, but the following year, it’s unmistakable. 

General upkeep can be a challenge.  Failing to wash down the boat, wiping it down and applying protectant is extremely common.  It’s all about consistency when it comes to properly caring for your boat.

The group talks about some of the problems you can encounter if you don’t have a good routine, at the end of the day.  They’ve all made mistakes.  Those are the ones you’ll probably avoid next time.  Andrew recommends having a marine radio.  It’ll be worth the investment if you need to use it.

Chad asks Courtney for a quick update on her mother, Tina.  Tina was a star on one of the Dock Crawl episodes, last year.  Tina’s doing okay and getting ready to spend time at their condo in Florida.  It looks like Courtney took over the torch for the Dock Crawl.  The group discusses some of the changes since last year.  Donsi Dale made an appearance in Episode 20.  His houseboat was actually featured on a season 16 episode of Top Chef, which was filmed at Lake Cumberland.

Advice to Someone Interested in Buying a Houseboat

The primary challenge is the cost.  Andrew comments that you either have to buy or rebuild an older model.  Houseboats seem to increase in value each year.  After the pandemic, people really aren’t getting rid of their boats, because they became a refuge.

On a side note, Andrew mentions his chili and wings cook-off.  They talk about some past events and special recipes.  There’s even a costume contest.

Lake Life Provides an Escape

The group talks about how they really enjoy getting down to the lake.  It’s a way to escape from the stress and pressure of day-to-day life.  Chad discusses how not having a cell signal is actually a good thing on the lake.

Courtney tells Molley and Chad about all of the new changes in their lives, since last year:  an engagement, a new business, a puppy, a move and a new car.  It’s been a whirlwind (or eddy, if you will).
