Thanks for the comments guys.
This is one of those jobs that's an absolute pain in the a$$!!! Total manual labor and contorting your body and it sucks! lol, but when you step back and look at that fresh white paint it's worth it. I know I"m not the first to do this, but this was the first really big project I tackled myself and am pretty proud of how it turned out.
Now to start putting it all back together...can't wait. I have some trick accents that I'm going to add and going to replace most of the hardware and hose in bilge so she should looks pretty much new when done...and oh yeah, the Whipple's

Started putting it all back together last weekend...took about two hours to just take all the tape and aluminum foil off! 
Bought new 5 year warrantied bilge pumps and float switches for some piece of mind. The old ones worked fine, just figured while I was in there I might as well change them. Also replacing all hose too...can't wait until it's done!
