Pretty much as clean as the boat bottom and props will ever be. Everything under the boat absolutely gleams, and the propellors have an almost mirror finish. One of the prop blades was bent when we arrived. They used the biggest propane torch you could possibly imagine to heat it until it glowed, then some brave soul beat it with a hammer wrapped in wet newspaper. Amazing to watch. Almost as amazing as watching them remove the rudders, props, and shafts. Now that everything is reinstalled, you could eat off the bottom of the boat. If you could make the food stick.
