3M makes an abrasive for boats. I think I saw some over at Frankie's Marine last time I was over there.

Sounds like you're on the right track. I had to use a wheel on mine when I bought it; doing it by hand wasn't cutting it and a wheel with 3M brought it back. There's several grades of abrasiveness available. Depending on how bad it is, start off more abrasive and get less and less agrressive compounds until she shines!
