Bought mine from AutoZone. HD stuff. Steel gear housing, varible speed, 12 amp. Standard shaft thread too, not like the odd ball plastic buffer that Sears sells.

get the lightest one you can find, your arms will thanks you. a buffer should turn no more than 1750 rpm for buffing and use an orbital polisher for waxing, advance/discount auto parts has an orbital polisher for 19.95 @ the fla. stores i picked one up yesterday for waxing my cig.

Dewalt 849 works well for me 1000-3000 RPM's you can find it from $149-$180 weight is 8.25 lbs if you are only going to use it for your boat it will last a long time.

Re: Detailing, buffing equipment?
I'm assuming you're looking for a polisher not a buffer.
The best one is a dual-orbital by the brand name of Cyclo. It's a piece of artwork- pricey but worth every penny.
Meguiars makes a polisher that's not to bad price wise, but you get what you pay for.
A buffer is OK for taking off chalk but way too fast for final finish on a premium paint job.
