Alabama State University A Car Wash for Boats Report

Overview of the business:

A car wash for boats. Basically this is used for people who trailer boats back and forth from home to their desired destination. This will be a machined process just like when you go through a car wash. Our goal is to clean salt water (if in the ocean) or any water stains (if in lakes) off of peoples boats. Everytime someone takes their boat out, they normally wash it afterwards. A day on the water can be very tiring so we are going to do it for them. A key thing you can think about is the damage salt water can have on trailers and boats. With our process the saltwater will be rinsed off completely. The only key difference from a carwash will be the amount of machinery being used. We want to wash the boats in a “soft washing” process. Machine brushes in a car wash would break things on a boat.
