not gonna make the tow to LOTO this year. Maybe next. But we’re booked and will be there.
and yes. 3 color on deck and cockpit did just two color in cabin. Also did straight lines / teak cockpit and cabin and no lines on deck and dash. Little touches the guy did so it flows well and isn’t overwhelming or to busy.

Well, the work continues. Went to the trailer shop. Trailer needed some love. Standard South Florida aluminum I Beam but it has that dumb bunk over hang. I hate how trailer companies do that. Looks like crap. They pulled the whole boat up on the trailer 18" so getting rid of the overhang. Going to switch to electric over hydraulic and putting all new rims and tires on. Brakes and bearing are newish so no need to do those. Will do all new LED lighting too. But first order of operation was to get rid of the vertical bow stop that was vertually useless and install an angled bow stop and tow strap mount. I did the same thing to our Top Gun trailer and it made a world of difference putting it on the trailer, like night and day better. So, pretty stoked about that. Here's some before pics and current work. You can see how far back the boat sat on the trailer before. I'll get pics of where its sitting when we're out in Havasu next weekend. Also, the rims I'm looking at.

Looks great, you will love the new bow stop and EOH brakes. I like the first wheel option but they both are nice. I am sure it will also pull different with more weight on the tongue, some guys like to push them back to decrease the weight rather than go with bags or larger springs, I have seen a couple of times where the trailer started wagging it's tail and ended up going turtle on them. The improvements will make a big difference.
