Re: End of an era: The "Refrigerator" goes to the paint shop
SOX - Thanks for posting the picture. Even though I had my camera with me, my arms weren't long enough to reach over the side and get that shot. Good to see you again - glad the Ebbtide's running well and hauling butt. Just need to figure out what's going on with the alternator belt....
SOX's picture doesn't really do the silver justice - it has a very high metalic/pearl content, and not only reflects very well, it tends to take on different shades of silver/charcoal/light blue, depending on the angle and ambient light. I'm happy, and so is The Admiral. It was her Christmas present to me.
offthefront - Everything below the rubrail is now Imron, including the white on the bottom. Now when we take it out of the water, it's just a simple wipedown - no hull cleaner required. (BIG gain in the workload department!) Glad you like it - thanks for the compliments.
Downtown42 - Thanks.
Lonestar382 - Thanks.
Nort - Glad to see you're still around, even if it's only to back Troutly up.
Insptech - Ted, people with all-white 40' Formulas (like YOU) should be very careful about calling other people's boats "refrigerators"....
Troutly - Read my original post, you foo-foo drink imbibing donut-muncher: "...Almost makes the boat look like it's coated in stainless steel." By the way, I was at my podiatrist yesterday, and he had a picture of a fungal nail that was almost exactly the same colors as your 382...

The Admiral is headed down to the marina tomorrow to do some housekeeping. I'll have her take some shots on the work rack...

Yep. Those were the Old Days. Looks better, now though, huh? Amazing what a little paint can do...
