cleaning and waxing a boat?

[broken_line]

i have a 16' pro fisherman that has a fairly pungent smell comming from by the fuel tank. im wondering if i should use john deere carpet stain remover, malco truck wash, and an smoke odor eliminator back there to try to get rid of the stink.. how should i dry the boat after power washing it? also i have buffed the outside with wizzards finish cut then put 2 coats of maguires cleaner/wax on it.. think that will stay on?

Any idea what's causing the smell? I'd isolate that first...

i had 3 buddies try to find the smell but they all said the whole boat stunk so i took it to work and it got truck wash, antibacterial soap, some mold killer and the whole thing got scrubbed and pressure washed and now it doesnt stink!!! just smells like soap..
